What's wrong?
The accelerator pedal in the 2007 Jeep Compass and Caliber is the foot pedal that tells the engine how much throttle to apply. It pivots on small bushings, which are support pieces that let the pedal move smoothly and return when your foot comes off.
On the recalled vehicles, the bearing pockets that hold those pivot bushings were made oversized. Because the pockets are too large, the bushings can slip out of position. Once a bushing moves, the pedal no longer has the same support at its pivot point, so it can bind or stick instead of moving freely.
There is no warning sign before failure. If the accelerator pedal feels stuck, slow to return, or does not move normally, the binding has already started and the vehicle needs recall service.
Who's affected?
The scope spans Compass and Caliber models in the 2007 model year, with the accelerator pedal component listed for each.
| 2007 Jeep Compass | Accelerator pedal |
|---|---|
| 2007 Dodge Caliber | Accelerator pedal |
| Units affected | 24,825 |
A matching year and model does not guarantee inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific vehicle is included.
What's the safety risk?
A binding or stuck accelerator pedal affects throttle control. Smart Brakes are designed to override the accelerator pedal under certain conditions. If the pedal binds or feels stuck, press the brake firmly, pull over where safe, and arrange dealer service. Repair will be free at any franchised Jeep dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2007 Jeep Compass or Caliber is included in this recall.
- Contact your nearest franchised Jeep dealer to ask whether the free accelerator-pedal inspection and replacement is open for your VIN.
- Reference recall number 10V234 when you call, and mention that the accelerator pedal can bind or stick because of dislodged pivot bushings.
- Bring the recall notice if Chrysler mailed one, plus any service paperwork tied to accelerator-pedal work.
- Drive cautiously until the repair is complete, and stop in a safe place if the accelerator pedal binds or sticks.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Jeep technician inspects the accelerator pedal assembly and replaces any included assembly at no charge. The repair addresses pivot bushings in oversized accelerator pedal bearing pockets, which can let the pedal bind or stick. The safety recall began on June 29, 2010, and parts and labor are covered under the recall. The source record does not provide a reimbursement plan, so this section does not list a separate claim process for prior repairs.
