Jeep filed this with NHTSA as a service bulletin dated Mar 2, 2026, received Mar 13, 2026, about the power train. It names 10 model years (2017–2026). A service bulletin is not a safety recall: it is the manufacturer telling its dealers how to diagnose or repair a condition, and whether the work is paid for depends on the warranty in force. Quoting the number at a service desk can save a diagnosis.

NHTSA groups complaints coarsely, so that means the same area of the vehicle, not necessarily the same fault.
On the 2018 Jeep Compass, the 84 owners who gave an odometer reading for Power Train reported it at a median of 24,000 miles. That figure is one model year’s, not the whole range this bulletin covers — medians from different model years are not averaged.

Common questions
Source: NHTSA, 49 CFR 579.5Is Jeep 9100776 a recall?
No. A service bulletin is a manufacturer communication filed with NHTSA under 49 CFR 579.5; a safety recall carries an NHTSA campaign number (two digits, a letter, six digits) and a federal duty to repair for free. Check the vehicle’s recalls by VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls, or on its page here.
Is the 9100776 repair free?
Not automatically. A service bulletin describes how to diagnose or repair a condition; who pays depends on the warranty in force, any extension, and the dealer. Quoting the number can save a diagnosis either way. Every Stellantis warranty extension on file lists the ones Stellantis has filed.
Which vehicles does 9100776 cover?
The manufacturer filed it against 10 model years: 2026 Jeep Compass, 2025 Jeep Compass, 2024 Jeep Compass, 2023 Jeep Compass, 2022 Jeep Compass, 2021 Jeep Compass and more. Whether one particular vehicle is affected is a matter of its VIN and its build, not its model year alone.
