Hybrid Hijinks

Chrysler has recalled certain 2017-2018 Pacifica Plug-In Hybrid Electric vehicles (PHEV) built from August 2016 to August 2018.

After the vehicle has been operating in PHEV propulsion mode, the gas-fueled engine may not restart properly, resulting in unburned fuel entering the exhaust catalyst.

The improperly started engine could result in a loss of motive power, increasing the risk of a crash, or the unburned fuel in the catalyst may ignite, increasing the risk of a fire.
