Chrysler Pacifica Plug-In Recalls

The Chrysler Pacifica Plug-In has 10 recalls spanning 2017 through 2025, with the most serious on 2025 models involving front brake caliper bracket bolts that may not be properly tightened, which can cause brake fluid to leak, reduce steering control, and result in complete loss of front braking.

The 2017-2020 model years share a fire risk tied to the 12-volt isolator post located behind the driver's seat. That connection can develop high resistance, overheat, and start a fire whether the vehicle is running or parked. The 2017-2021 range also has a separate battery pack fire risk that can occur while the vehicle is parked and switched off. Prior repair attempts on 2017-2018 vehicles did not fully resolve this battery fire issue, and those models remain subject to an updated remedy. On 2018 models, the right front lower control arm can separate from the steering knuckle, causing sudden loss of directional control. There is also a wiring issue on 2018 models where underhood wiring can cause the engine to stall unexpectedly.

The 2017-2018 model years carry additional hybrid-specific concerns. The power inverter module on 2017 models contains diodes that can fail under overvoltage conditions, leaving the vehicle unable to move under its own power. On 2017-2018 vehicles, the gas engine may fail to restart properly after running in electric-only mode, allowing unburned fuel to enter the exhaust catalyst where it can ignite, and also leaving the driver without propulsion.

A compliance-only recall affects 2017 models, where the tire placard incorrectly lists seating capacity and maximum load weight, which could lead to overloading if owners rely on the label.
