Chrysler Pacifica Fire Recall Products Liability Litigation

The causation theory centers on internal short circuits within the battery cells, caused by manufacturing flaws such as torn or folded anode tabs. These internal faults lead to thermal runaway, resulting in fires. Investigations by NHTSA and technical analyses confirm that the defect is internal to the battery pack, not external electrical or fuel system issues.
