## What is wrong

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.


## What can happen

Inadvertent unlatching of the left outboard seat belt can increase the risk of injury in the event of a crash.


## The remedy

Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will install a shorter second\-row seat belt buckle, free of charge.  The recall began October 26, 2017.  Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1\-800\-853\-1403.  Chrysler's number for this recall is T54.
