Chrysler Pacifica: The HV battery may suddenly catch fire

14/04/2025

Chrysler is recalling 18,953 vehicles of the Pacifica model series manufactured between 2016 and 2018. The reason for the recall is the HV battery that may suddenly catch fire.

At an authorised workshop, the intervention consists of updating the HV-BPCM control unit to monitor the operating status of the battery pack assembly for conditions that could lead to a fire. The module is then checked and replaced if necessary.

The Kraftfahrt-Bundesamt (KBA) monitors the recall under the reference number “14940R“. The internal manufacturer code is “73B“.
