RECALL: 2017-2018 Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid Models:
10,021 Units Affected...
Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) has issued a recall for 10,021 2017-2018 MY Chrysler Pacifica Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (“PHEV”) vehicles may experience engine mis-synchronization which may result in a thermal degradation of the catalyst or nearby components or may lead to a loss of motive power.
After FCA conducted an internal investigation it was determined that some auto restart events (where the vehicle has been operating in PHEV propulsion mode, and the gas-fueled engine is attempting to restart in order to take over propulsion), the engine can synchronize 360-degrees out of phase. The detection of this mis-synchronization was not robust in the PCM software. In the PHEV propulsion system, the electric motor will continue to spin the engine in this condition causing significant amounts of unburned fuel to enter the catalyst and potentially ignite.
