2018 CHRYSLER PACIFICA PLUG-IN Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2018 Chrysler Pacifica Plug-In has 6 recalls, the most serious being multiple fire risks: the hybrid battery pack can catch fire while parked with the ignition off, a 12-volt electrical connection behind the driver's seat can overheat and also ignite, and unburned fuel entering the exhaust catalyst during engine restarts can cause a fire. Two of the fire-related recalls specifically affect the plug-in hybrid system and are linked: one covers the original defect, and a second covers vehicles where a prior software repair did not fully resolve the issue. On the mechanical side, the right front lower control arm can separate from the steering knuckle, causing a sudden and significant loss of steering and vehicle control. There is also a wiring defect in the engine bay that can cause the vehicle to stall unexpectedly. Some of these recalls only affect plug-in hybrid models, while the stall-related wiring issue applies more broadly.
