What's wrong?
The 2020-2022 Chrysler Pacifica Plug-In Hybrid uses a high-voltage battery pack to store electricity for the hybrid drive system. That pack supplies power for electric driving and works with control software that tracks battery operation. It needs the cells inside the pack to stay stable while the van is driven, charged, or parked.
In the recalled Pacifica vans, cells from a specific LG Energy Solution assembly line are linked to internal battery failure. An internal failure can start thermal runaway, which is a chain reaction that creates heat faster than the battery pack can control it. Chrysler has not confirmed the exact manufacturing cause, so the recall uses revised battery-control software to monitor the pack and inspection to decide whether replacement is needed.
There is no warning sign before failure. The battery pack can overheat and cause a fire even while the vehicle is parked with the ignition off.
