Chrysler Pacifica Recalled for Park Release Plug

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles is recalling an estimated 240,242 2017 to 2018 Chrysler Pacifica minivans because the manual park release plug may be removed without a tool, rendering it insecure.

In the event the manual park release is inadvertently engaged, the vehicle could potentially roll away, causing a collision or striking and injuring a pedestrian. To fix the problem, Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will replace the plug at no cost.

The recall begins Aug. 3. Owners can reach Chrysler customer service at (800) 853-1403. Chrysler's number for this recall is U50.
