Relative movement in the Power Transfer Unit (PTU) between the differential input splines and the transmission output shaft may cause some input spline teeth to wear off, which may eventually cause a loss of engagement between the transmission and the differential inside the PTU. If this occurs, power cannot be transferred between the front wheels and the transmission which results in a loss of drive while the vehicle is in motion and a loss of the Park function while stationary. A loss of drive can cause a vehicle crash without prior warning. A loss of the Park function can cause unintended vehicle rollaway which can increase the risk of a crash or injury. Solution: FCA US LLC will notify owners, and dealers will perform a software update that will maintain vehicle propulsion by engaging rear wheel drive and prevent rolling in Park by activating the electronic parking brake if a failed input spline occurs. This recall is expected to begin July 31, 2020. Contact: Owners may contact FCA USA LLC customer service at 1-800-853-1403. FCA’s number for this recall is W47. 2017-20 Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid Manufacturer: FCA US LLC Number of vehicles affected: 22,449 Report Date: June 9, 2020 Issue: Chrysler (FCA US LLC) is recalling certain 2017-2020 Pacifica Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (“PHEV”). The 12 volt isolator post located behind the driver’s seat may develop high resistance. A high resistance electrical connection may result in the connection overheating, increasing the risk of a fire with the vehicle on or off. Solution: The recall remedy is currently under development. FCA US LLC will notify owners, and dealers will perform an interim inspection of this joint. If the inspection indicates the joint is compromised, owners will receive a loaner vehicle, until a final remedy is developed. Interim notifications are expected to begin around June 22, 2020. Contact: Owners may contact FCA US LLC customer service at 1-800-853-1403. FCA US LLC’s number for this recall is W46.

Solution: Ford will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the latch date codes to confirm if the repair was done correctly, and replace the side door latches if necessary, free of charge.
