The Forward Collison icon is on, on my dash. I get a screen message the service is not working, then another to say the signal is lost. I cannot reprogram/reconnect the service in Uconnect. Makes no difference for icon whether engine is running or not. This started in November 2023. The dealer is saying sensor needs replaced.

Source: NHTSA, 49 CFR 579.5Is Jeep S268A000017 a recall?

Is the S268A000017 repair free?

The manufacturer filed it against 5 model years: 2026 Jeep Compass, 2025 Jeep Compass, 2024 Jeep Compass, 2023 Jeep Compass, 2027 Jeep Compass. Whether one particular vehicle is affected is a matter of its VIN and its build, not its model year alone.
