2017 CHRYSLER PACIFICA Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2017 Chrysler Pacifica has 21 recalls, the most serious being multiple fire risks on plug-in hybrid models, where a fault inside the high-voltage battery assembly or an overheating connection near the 12-volt battery isolator can ignite a fire even while the vehicle is parked and off. Several other recalls also affect hybrid models specifically: a wiring connector inside the transmission can short circuit and cut drive power without warning, and the power inverter module can fail and cause an unexpected loss of propulsion while moving. An engine mis-synchronization during auto-start can overheat the catalytic converter, raising the risk of fire or a stall. Note that an earlier repair attempt for the high-voltage battery fire risk did not fully resolve the issue, and a second repair is required on some vehicles. Non-hybrid models have their own concerns. The 3.6L engine can lose crankshaft position sensor synchronization and stall unexpectedly. On vehicles equipped with an engine stop/start system, a loose battery ground connection can cause intermittent loss of power steering or a stall, making the vehicle harder to control. On the safety equipment side, two seatbelt issues affect certain seating configurations: an overhead stow clip in the second- or third-row center position can fracture and trap the latch plate, blocking use of that belt, and on eight-passenger models, the second-row center buckle can accidentally unlatch the left outboard belt while driving. There is also a manual park release cover that can be removed without a tool, creating a rollaway risk. Several recalls
