What's wrong?
The second-row seat cushion frame supports the seat and holds the latch that locks the seat to the floor. On included 2021-2022 Chrysler Pacifica and 2021 Chrysler Voyager vehicles, that seat-to-floor mounting latch is the part that keeps the second-row seat fixed in place during normal driving and when a child restraint is attached.
The recall is for a latch that binds and sticks open instead of closing fully around the floor mounting point. When that happens, the seat is not properly secured to the floor. That creates a compliance problem with the child restraint anchorage system because the child seat depends on the second-row seat staying locked down.
Vehicle occupants can notice a rattle from the second-row seat while driving. That rattle is the warning sign to take seriously, especially if the seat feels loose or does not lock firmly into the floor.
Who's affected?
The Pacifica is included for 2021 and 2022, while the Voyager is included for 2021. Each is tied to the same seat assembly component.

At the dealer, a Chrysler technician inspects the second-row seat cushion frame and replaces it if the frame or latch condition keeps the seat from securing correctly to the floor. The inspection, replacement parts, and labor are free under the recall. If you paid out of pocket for a related repair before the recall notice, FCA US asks owners to send the original receipt or other proof of payment so the company can confirm the expense under its reimbursement practice.
