What's wrong?
The front brake caliper bracket on the 2025 Chrysler Pacifica Plug-In Hybrid is the mount that holds the front brake caliper in position at the wheel. The caliper squeezes the brake pads against the rotor when you press the pedal, so the bracket and its bolts have to stay tight while the wheel turns, steers, and brakes.
On affected vehicles, the front caliper bracket bolts were not tightened to the proper torque during production. Loose bracket bolts can let the caliper bracket shift instead of holding steady. That movement can reduce steering control, allow a brake fluid leak, and lead to loss of front brake function.
There is no warning sign before failure. Chrysler's recall filing does not list a pedal feel, noise, warning light, or other symptom that tells an owner the bracket bolts are loose before the brake or steering problem appears.
Who's affected?
Both listed brake components involve the same hex flange head in the hydraulic brake system.

What's the safety risk?
Reduced steering control, a brake fluid leak, and loss of front brake function increase crash risk. There is no warning sign before failure, so schedule the repair soon and avoid driving if braking or steering feels abnormal. Repair is free at any franchised Chrysler dealer.
