If the dealer did not use the new recall part number for the recent repair, then you will need to have the part replaced again with the new recall part number.Thanks for that. Ours was eventually fixed after we took it in twice because of a strong gas smell. They found a cracked fuel line on the second visit and replaced it, although it had to sit at the dealer for 5 days while waiting for the part to arrive. Obviously, this is a common problem with the 2.0 versions that were built between 1/24 to 03/18/20 but at least ours is fixed.
I'm not sure if they've modified the part since the recall so it will not happen again or if we will still have to take it in if/when we receive the notice on October 15, as it says in the recall report.
Well, I'm sure we will have to take it there again, if nothing else than to just verify that everything was done according to the recall. Ours was fixed 4 months ago, long before this recall was ever created.If the dealer did not use the new recall part number for the recent repair, then you will need to have the part replaced again with the new recall part number.
I would hope that FCA purged all of the old suspect parts from inventory when the issue was identified.
Thanks, I was unaware of that thread but you're certainly right. Maybe one of the Moderators can move it? @Moderator ?Well, I'm sure we will have to take it there again, if nothing else than to just verify that everything was done according to the recall.

Also, this thread might be better suited in the Issues, Repairs, Warranty, TSB, Recalls forum.
So, you wanted them to give you the Jeep back knowing it had a cracked fuel line?Dropped my Jeep for the inspection for the fuel line last week. Prior to dropping off, I specifically asked the service advisor if the parts were in stock. He indeed said they were. When I dropped it off, I asked the service advisor again and he was hesitant. Told me even if he needed to order the part, the Jeep should be done by Mon or Tuesday (today). Got a call today that it's on backorder and it won't be done until November. Asked for my car back and they said it is inoperable. Glad to know that i'm paying for a Rubicon and driving around in a Compass. Call is in with Jeep Wave.
1. The Jeep was running fine with no fuel smell at the time of dropping the Jeep off. They replaced because it either didn't have a date code or had the date code impacted by the recall. There was no crack in the fuel line.So, you wanted them to give you the Jeep back knowing it had a cracked fuel line?
With all the money you're saving not paying for fuel in the Compass, you'll be able to install 60s under her when you get it back. Win/win
1. So they were already being extra cautious. No big deal.1. The Jeep was running fine with no fuel smell at the time of dropping the Jeep off. They replaced because it either didn't have a date code or had the date code impacted by the recall. There was no crack in the fuel line.
2. How am I saving money by not paying for fuel? I have to pay for the gas in my Compass and have to fill it up upon return.
I'm getting 22MPG on my Rubicon which isn't bad at all. Much rather drive what I paid for rather than a Compass that I really don't like (worth about half of what my Rubicon is) that gets slightly higher MPG.1. So they were already being extra cautious. No big deal.
2. That was a tongue in cheek joke at how much more gas the Wrangler uses over the Compass. I really don't believe you would be able to save for 60s from the savings.

Dude.....you seem like you'd be a blast at parties. Anyway, enjoy your Compass. Imao.I'm getting 22MPG on my Rubicon which isn't bad at all. Much rather drive what I paid for rather than a Compass that I really don't like (worth about half of what my Rubicon is) that gets slightly higher MPG.
