Chrysler Announced a recall this month affecting up to 17,277 Chrysler Pacifica Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles, model years 2020-2022. The vehicle may have been built with a high voltage battery containing cells produced on an alternative assembly line at LG Energy Solution. These battery packs may fail internally, resulting in thermal runaway. A HV battery which fails internally may result in thermal runaway leading to a vehicle fire.
The suspect vehicle population began on Aug. 5, 2020, when production of vehicles with HV batteries produced on the alternative assembly line began, and concluded on May 2, 2022, when production of vehicles with HV batteries produced on the alternative assembly line concluded. Supplier and vehicle manufacturing records were used to determine the suspect vehicle population
Similar vehicles not included in this recall are built before or after the suspect period, are not PHEVs, or are built with HV batteries containing cells produced on the primary assembly line at LGES.
