Following reports on Dodge recalling roughly 400,000 units of its Ram truck, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) also announced a recall on more than 100,000 vehicles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Close to 200,000 units of its 2017-2019 Chrysler Pacifica<\/a> minivan are being pulled out by FCA due to wiring harness problems. Vehicles with build dates falling between October 11, 2016 and November 20, 2018 are affected by the recall. Those built after the said timeframe, however, were revealed to have an updated component that does not present an issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The problem was revealed to be rooted in the wiring harness, where a specific sealer used during the manufacturing process could potentially cause a loose battery ground joint. When connection to the ground becomes intermittent, there is a possibility for the car to lose power steering or motive force, thereby increasing the risk of a crash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FCA first discovered the problem in January after a field-study on 14 vehicles revealed intermittent power steering loss. The company’s engineering team, then, conducted a subsequent investigation and found that the sealer could be the one causing the problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In early May, it decided to announce a voluntary recall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fortunately for car owners, there won’t be any need to wait until the wiring harnesses get replaced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Technicians will inspect the surfaces in question and, if necessary, will clean and reassemble the battery ground joint to prevent intermittent connection loss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Car owners who had theirs fixed will be reimbursed by FCA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Starting late June, dealers and owners are expected to receive call notifications from the brand.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
