Over 250,000 Chrysler Voyager and Pacifica Vehicles Facing Airbag Recall

Chrysler has initiated a voluntary recall affecting selected Pacifica and Voyager models from the years 2022 through 2025, in order to potentially replace the side curtain airbags.

Approximately 250,651 vehicles may be impacted by this recall, prompted by side curtain airbags that could fail to maintain adequate pressure upon deployment. Such a failure might lead to increased danger for occupants during specific collision scenarios. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has attributed the issue to poorly sealed seams. Chrysler dealers will conduct examinations and, when necessary, carry out free replacements of the side curtain airbags.

While Chrysler's parent company, Stellantis, has reported no known incidents or injuries associated with this defect, they are advising vehicle owners to adhere to the instructions provided in the recall notifications.

Previous Recalls and Safety Concerns

In the past, Chrysler has faced a recall in 2024 involving the potential disablement of electronic stability controls due to a software glitch, affecting vehicles in the United States. Moreover, a significant recall involved thousands of Dodge Charger and Chrysler 300 models because of a manufacturing flaw capable of resulting in airbag deployment failure, which could discharge sharp metal fragments, posing lethal risks to passengers.
