Recall 2017381

The issue

On certain Vantage Mobility International wheelchair accessible vehicles built on Chrysler Pacifica platforms, the left and right side rear axle pinion mounting brackets could prematurely crack. If the brackets were to crack while the vehicle is in motion, it could affect vehicle handling and stability and could result in loss of control, increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will replace the left and right rear axle pinion brackets with redesigned more robust brackets.

Description (français)

Sur certains véhicules accessibles aux fauteuils roulants Vantage Mobility International construits sur une plateforme Chrysler Pacifica, les supports de fixation du pignon d'essieu arrière droits et gauches pourraient se fissurer prématurément. Si les supports venaient à se fissurer pendant que le véhicule roule, cela pourrait nuire à la manœuvrabilité et à la stabilité et engendrer une perte de la maîtrise du véhicule, augmentant les risques de collision ou les dommages matériels. Correction : Les concessionnaires doivent remplacer les supports de pignon d'essieu arrière gauches et droits par des supports redessinés plus robustes.
