Brake system fault may reduce vehicle control
The electronic stability control warning may appear and the system may deactivate. Without electronic brake-force distribution and anti-lock braking, the vehicle could lose controllability when braking. The electronic brake system module will be replaced.
Official DVSA recall text
- Component
- Electronic Brake System (EBS) module
- Defect
- On some vehicles the Electronics Stability Control (ESC) warning light and the relative warning message may appear on the Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) and the ESC may deactivate. In the worst case the vehicle could lose controllability when braking due to Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD) and Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) not being available.
- Remedy
- Replace the Electronic Brake System (EBS) Module.
Fuel particulate filter pipe may cause an electrical arc
Insufficient clearance between the fuel particulate filter pipe and the 48V belt starter generator pole protection cup may allow water in, causing an electrical arc and overheating or fire in the engine compartment. The cup will be replaced; the clearance will be checked and the pipe repositioned or replaced if damaged.
Official DVSA recall text
- Component
- Fuel particulate filter pressure pipe
- Defect
- On affected vehicles due to a production nonconformity there may be contact or a reduced clearance between the fuel Particulate Filter pipe and the pole protection cup of the 48V Belt Starter Generator. Under wet conditions there is a possibility that this insufficient clearance may lead to water infiltration creating an electrical arc which could trigger a thermal event such as overheating. In the worst-case scenario this could result in a risk of fire in the engine compartment.
- Remedy
- Replace the pole protection cup of the 48V Belt Starter Generator. In addition check the distance between the fuel Particulate Filter pipe and the pole protection cup of the 48V Belt Starter Generator. If the distance is less than 10 mm re-position the pipe or replace the pipe if damaged.
Brake pedal may disengage
A production issue may affect the brake pedal bracket connection, creating a risk that the pedal could disengage. The connection will be checked for the assembly clip and reworked if necessary.
Official DVSA recall text
- Component
- Jeep Avenger 2025. Brake pedal
- Defect
- On affected vehicles due to a production nonconformity there is a requirement to inspect the brake pedal bracket connection and if necessary perform a rework to eliminate any potential risk of brake pedal disengagement. In the event of brake pedal failure the Electronic Park Brake located on the centre console can be applied while driving to bring the vehicle to a controlled stop. Additionally when active the Automatic Emergency Braking system will intervene if it detects an imminent collision.
- Remedy
- Check for the presence of the clip confirming correct assembly and reworking it if necessary.
Stop&Start may not switch off the engine
Incorrect body control module software may prevent Stop&Start from activating, so the engine keeps running when it should stop. This may increase CO2 emissions and cause non-compliance with emissions regulations. A retailer will update the module software to rectify the issue.
Official DVSA recall text
- Component
- Jeep Avenger. Emissions recall. Stop&Start not functioning software update. r Switch Harness Failure
- Defect
- On a number of Jeep Avenger ICE (internal combustion engine) vehicles equipped with start/stop function and manual transmission the Stop&Start function may not activate correctly. This will result in the engine continuing to run when Stop&Start should be active not shutting off as Stop&Start is intended. This is due to incorrect BCM (body control module) coding software and therefore CO2 levels may increase which does not match the CO2 values homologated and displayed in the CoC (Certificate of Conformity). This can lead to non-compliance with emissions regulations.
- Remedy
- The repair is the Jeep retailer will update the BCM with the latest software to permanently rectify the issue. Jeep ref: 36C.
Vehicle control unit software may not meet emissions requirements
The vehicle may not comply with emissions test requirements. A dealer will update the electric vehicle control unit software to rectify the issue.
