Electronic Brake System (EBS) module
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.
Replace the Electronic Brake System (EBS) Module.
Passenger airbag inflator
In the event that the airbag is activated excessive internal pressure may cause the inflator body to rupture and metal fragments may pass through the cushion material causing injury to the vehicle occupants and / or in worst cases a fatality. The concern is caused by moisture in the air getting past faulty seals and being absorbed by the pyrotechnic biscuits in the inflator. As a result it is more likely to occur sooner in areas of high humidity and high temperature difference.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the passenger front air bag module which includes the inflator.
Passenger airbag inflator
Passenger air bag may deploy incorrectly if activated.
Replace the passenger air bag inflator.

Jeep Avenger. Emissions recall. Stop&Start not functioning software update. r Switch Harness Failure
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.
The repair is the Jeep retailer will update the BCM with the latest software to permanently rectify the issue. Jeep ref: 36C.
Jeep Avenger BEV. Emissions recall eVCU (vehicle control unit) software update.
A number of Jeep Avenger BEV vehicles may not comply with emissions test requirements conducted by the relevant authorities. This may lead to a non-compliance of regulatory requirements.
