Stellantis has announced a voluntary recall of 2025 Chrysler Pacifica and Voyager minivans. The company says the recall is due to a serious airbag defect that could harm passengers.
The automotive giant says there’s a problem with the airbags. The seams in both the right and left side curtain airbags were improperly sealed. This could reduce pressure retention during deployment and compromise passenger protection. It also increases the risk of partial or full occupant ejection via the side windows in a crash.
Understanding the Scope of the Recall
Autolive ASP produced the defective airbags. The company is a well-known automotive safety systems manufacturer.
Chrysler says the problem affects around 985 vehicles in the US. It includes 871 Pacifica units produced between December 5, 2024, and January 27, 2025. It also impacts Voyager models built between December 8, 2024, and January 22, 2025.
How Chrysler Discovered the Issue
The issue came to light after an NHTSA ejection mitigation test conducted in July 2025. Both airbags failed to meet Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 226. The policy sets requirements for ejection mitigation. Stellantis traced the issue back to a manufacturing flaw in certain Autoliv modules.
What Owners Should Do
Chrysler dealers will replace the defective airbags with new, compliant modules. This is at no cost to the drivers. The company is set to mail interim notification letters by October 2, 2025. The full details of the remedy will follow once replacement parts are available. Stellantis expects the fix to be ready by the end of the year.Chrysler is also urging owners of Pacifica and Voyager minivans to go to their website. They can confirm whether their vehicle is part of the recall. All they must do is check their VINs on Chrysler’s recall website. They can also contact their dealership to check if their vehicle’s affected.
