Chrysler Recalls 2017 Pacifica Plug-in Hybrid for Incorrect Tire Placard Labeling

Chrysler is recalling 2017 Pacifica Plug-in Hybrid vehicles because the tire placard incorrectly lists seating capacity and weight limits, potentially causing vehicle overloading.

What this means for you

Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: The recall addresses a labeling error that creates a risk of vehicle overloading and potential crashes, but no injuries or crashes have been reported, fitting the criteria for a moderate risk of harm where injury has not yet been reported.

Plain-English summary

Chrysler (FCA US LLC) is recalling certain 2017 Pacifica Plug-in Hybrid Electric vehicles (PHEV). The recall involves 100 vehicles where the tire placard incorrectly lists the seating capacity as 6 occupants instead of 7, and a combined weight limit of 950 lbs instead of 1,100 lbs. This labeling error causes the vehicles to fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 110, "Tire Selection and Rims."

The incorrect tire label may cause customer confusion, potentially resulting in vehicle overloading, which increases the risk of a crash. No specific injuries or crashes have been reported in the source text.

Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will replace the tire placard label free of charge. The recall began on July 6, 2017. Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
