The company says a brake-system part wasn't built to specifications, allowing gas bubbles to form in the brake fluid. FCA has received no customer complaints or reports of any crashes or injuries from the problem. The owners of the vehicles will be notified shortly and the dealers will replace the brake fluid, which according to the company will solve the problem.

The Jeep Compass SUVs that are sold in the U.S. are imported from the company's plant in Toluca, Mexico. The Compass is built in four plants worldwide Brazil, Mexico, China and of course India. The company's plant in Ranjangaon, Pune caters to the right-hand drive market globally. The cars that are affected are mostly in the US and so the India-made Compass has not been affected by this recall. The company had recalled 1200 units of the Compass in November 2017 over an airbag issue. But beside this, the Jeep has had a good run in the country and the company celebrated producing 25,000 units in June this year. We now await the launch of the Trailhawk version of the car which will be launched very soon.
