What is being recalled
Chrysler (FCA US LLC) is recalling certain 2017-2018 Chrysler Pacifica vehicles equipped with the 8-passenger seating option. In certain passenger seating and vehicle situations, the second-row center seating position seat belt buckle could cause the left outboard seat belt to become unlatched.
Why it is dangerous
Inadvertent unlatching of the left outboard seat belt can increase the risk of injury in the event of a crash.
