## What is wrong

Chrysler \(FCA US LLC\) is recalling certain 2017 Jeep Compass vehicles equipped with a 6\-speed transmission. The left front halfshaft may not be properly seated, and, as a result, it may disengage from the transmission and/or break.


## What can happen

If the left front halfshaft disengages or breaks, the vehicle will have a loss of drive.  Additionally, if the vehicle is parked without using the parking brake, the vehicle may roll, despite being in 'Park.'  Either condition may increase the risk of a crash.


## The remedy

Chrysler will notify owners, dealers will inspect the left front halfshaft for engagement and replace any that are not properly engaged in the transmission, free of charge.  The recall began on June 12, 2017.  Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1\-800\-853\-1403.  Chrysler's number for this recall is T26.


## Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1\-888\-327\-4236 \(TTY 1\-800\-424\-9153\), or go to www.safercar.gov.
