90037782017-11-03. Service bulletin. POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:LEVER AND LINKAGE:COLUMN SHIFT; ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. Shifter Assembly, Knob, Boot and Bezel 2017 - 2018 MY Jeep Compass that does not shut down when shifter is in Park position as shown on PRNDL and EVIC displays ?Vehicle Not in Park?, (Vehicle actually IS in park). Please call Dil Weerasinha at 248-944-5967 or Mike Perecki at 248-576-0861. If there is no answer, attempt to duplicate the condition and take a vehicle bus log while the condition is active prior to clearing any fault codes. Please email log to dil.weerasinha@fcagroup.com To repair the condition, first check adjustment of shifter cable. DO NOT unclip the cable at this time. Disconnect the cable from the shifter pin. Check if cable lines up with the shifter pin WITHOUT any clip or knob adjustment. If cable does not line up, document the condition (pictures etc.), readjust the cable and verify if the problem still exists. If problem is solved, replace shifter knob (P/N: 6MZ66XSAAA or 6MZ67XSAAA) as a caution and return knob to QEC. If problem persists, replace the entire shifter assembly. This should include (1) shifter knob (P/N: 6MZ66XSAAA or 6MZ67XSAAA) (2) Knob set screw (P/N: 68374027AA) (3) shifter boot and bezel (P/N: depends S/C) (4) shifter assembly (P/N: 68364234AA). Do not disassemble the shifter assembly. Verify if the problem still exists. If problem is solved, return all components above to QEC.
90037752017-11-03. Service bulletin. EQUIPMENT; STRUCTURE; POWER TRAIN. Power Transfer Unit (PTU) If you have a leak at the transmission to Power Transfer Unit (PTU) interface proceed with the following repair. Do not replace the PTU for this leak. The issue is that the stub shaft on the transmission has become dislodged from the transmission creating a leak path from the transmission, not the PTU. Remove the PTU from the transmission. Inspect the stub shaft's interior differential seal to see if there seal lip damage or if it has been dislodged within the shaft prior to reinserting the shaft into the transmission. Follow Tech Connect instructions for replacing the axle seal if you find that the seal has been displaced within the stub shaft. Inspect the transmission differential seal for damage also. The risk of pulling the shaft out again still exists during assembly of the transmission and PTU. If at anytime in the assembly process you pull the PTU back off the stub shaft it may come dislodged again. FCA design changes to increase retention of the shaft are in process.
