## What is wrong

Chrysler \(FCA US LLC\) is recalling certain 2018 Chrysler Pacifica vehicles.  The front axle halfshafts may have been incorrectly assembled, preventing the shaft from being properly secured to the constant\-velocity \(CV\) joint.


## What can happen

If the axle shaft disengages from the CV joint, the vehicle will have a loss of drive or allow the vehicle to move while in the "Park" position.  Either condition may increase the risk of a crash.


## The remedy

Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will replace the left or right halfshaft assembly, free of charge.  The recall began September 18, 2018.  Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1\-800\-853\-1403.  Chrysler's number for this recall is U80.


## Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1\-888\-327\-4236 \(TTY 1\-800\-424\-9153\), or go to www.safercar.gov.
