Jul 11, 2023Stellantis said a transmission wiring connector could short-circuit and cause the engine to shut down unexpectedly.
The Reuters news service is reporting today, citing Chrysler parent company Stellantis, that about 67,000 2017–2023 models of the Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid will be recalled in the U.S. The recall will be to fix an issue that could lead to an unexpected shutdown of the minivan's engine. The automaker said the problem has been reported in about 0.2 percent of Pacifica Hybrid minivans, and no accidents or injuries have been reported as a result of this issue.
No date has been given yet for the recall, which will include a power inverter software update and a potential update to the instrument panel cluster's software. We have reached out to Stellantis for more information and will update this story as it becomes available. In the meantime, Pacifica Hybrid owners can check the NHTSA recalls website, where recall information should be posted soon.
