Dealer Service Instructions for:
Safety Recall V15 / NHTSA 19V-143 Ball Joint
Remedy Available
| 2018 | (RU) | Chrysler Pacifica |
NOTE: This recall applies only to the above vehicles. Some vehicles may have been identified as not involved in this recall and therefore have been excluded from this recall.
Subject
The right front lower control arm knuckle pinch bolt on about 47,780 of the above vehicles may experience a loss of clamp load at the right front lower control arm ball joint, potentially resulting in the right front lower control arm ball joint separating from the steering knuckle. A separation of the right front lower control arm from the steering knuckle may allow the knuckle to rotate while driving resulting in a loss of directional control, which may increase the risk of a crash without prior warning.
Repair
Inspect the right front lower ball joint stud for proper installation into the steering knuckle. If properly installed, replace the pinch bolt with a larger-diameter pinch bolt. If the ball joint stud was NOT properly installed into the steering knuckle, replace the lower control arm, steering knuckle and install the larger-diameter pinch bolt.
Alternate Transportation
Dealers should attempt to minimize customer inconvenience by placing the owner in a loaner vehicle if the vehicle must be held overnight.

IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL
Dear [Name],
This notice is sent to you in accordance with the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act.
FCA has decided that a defect, which relates to motor vehicle safety, exists in certain [2018 Model Year (RU) Chrysler Pacifica] vehicles.
It is extremely important to take steps now to repair your vehicle to ensure the safety of you and your passengers.
WHY DOES MY VEHICLE NEED REPAIRS?
The right front lower control arm knuckle pinch bolt on your vehicle [1] may experience a loss of clamp load at the right front lower control arm ball joint, potentially resulting in the right front lower control arm ball joint separating from the steering knuckle. A separation of the right front lower control arm ball joint from the steering knuckle may allow the knuckle to rotate while driving resulting in a loss of directional control, which may increase the risk of a crash without prior warning.
HOW DO I RESOLVE THIS IMPORTANT SAFETY ISSUE?
FCA will repair your vehicle [2] free of charge (parts and labor). To do this, your dealer will inspect the right front knuckle and lower control arm for damage and replace as needed. In addition, your dealer will replace the right front lower control arm knuckle pinch bolt with a larger-diameter pinch bolt. The estimated repair time is 30 minutes or 2 hours if lower control arm requires replacement. In addition, your dealer will require your vehicle for proper check-in, preparation, and check-out during your visit, which require more time. Your time is important to us, so we recommend that you schedule a service appointment to minimize your inconvenience. Please bring this letter with you to your dealership.
TO SCHEDULE YOUR FREE REPAIR,
CALL YOUR CHRYSLER, DODGE, JEEP OR RAM DEALER TODAY
WHAT IF I ALREADY PAID TO HAVE THIS REPAIR COMPLETED?
