- Problem
- Chrysler (FCA US LLC) is recalling certain 2017 Pacifica Plug-in Hybrid Electric vehicles (PHEV). The tire placard on the affected vehicles incorrectly lists the seating capacity as 6 occupants rather then 7 occupants, with a combined weight of 950lbs rather than 1,100lbs. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 110, "Tire Selection and Rims."
- Risk
- The incorrect tire label may cause customer confusion, potentially resulting in vehicle overloading, increasing the risk of a crash.
- Remedy
- Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will replace tire placard label, free of charge. The recall began July 6, 2017. Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403. Chrysler's number for this recall is T37.
- Notes
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
What this recall means for you
The tire placard on certain vehicles incorrectly lists seating capacity as 6 occupants instead of 7, and the combined weight limit as 950 lbs instead of 1,100 lbs. The vehicles also fail to meet Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 110 for tire selection and rims.
Because the label understates what the vehicle can carry, owners may load it beyond its true limits, which increases the risk of a crash.
Chrysler will notify owners, and authorized dealers will replace the tire placard label free of charge. Owners can contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403 for more information. Check your VIN for any open recalls.
