Chrysler recalls over 250,000 vehicles due to dangerous airbag issues

Chrysler airbag recall overview:

• Who: Chrysler (FCA US, LLC) is recalling 250,651 Pacifica and Voyager vehicles.
• Why: The recall is due to side curtain airbags that may not retain sufficient pressure, increasing the risk of ejection and injury.
• Where: The recall is effective in the United States.

Chrysler is issuing an airbag recall for more than 250,000 Pacifica and Voyager minivans from model years 2022 to 2025 due to a potential airbag defect. 

The side curtain airbags in these vehicles may not maintain adequate pressure because of improperly sealed seams, posing a heightened risk of injury during crashes.

The recall, announced May 9, involves the side curtain airbags, which may not comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 226, “Ejection Mitigation,” due to insufficient pressure retention. 

Chrysler said it would notify owners with interim letters by June 30, 2025, and will send a second notice once a final remedy is available. 

“An air bag with insufficient pressure retention increases the risk of ejection and injury during a crash,” the recall says.

Chrysler offering free inspections and replacements of airbags, recall notice says

Chrysler has assured vehicle owners that dealers will inspect and replace the faulty side curtain airbags at no cost. The company has emphasized that the issue arises from improperly sealed seams, which could compromise the airbags’ effectiveness during deployment.

 “Chrysler dealers will inspect and replace the side curtain airbags as necessary, at no cost to the vehicle owners,” the recall notice says.

The company is also petitioning the NHTSA for a determination that the defect is inconsequential to motor vehicle safety. If the petition is denied, Chrysler will be required to fulfill its notification and remedy obligations.

Vehicle owners are encouraged to follow the instructions in their Chrysler Pacifica recall notices and contact Chrysler customer service at 800-853-1403, noting recall numbers 06C, 54C, 55C, for further assistance.

Chrysler said it is not aware of any injuries or accidents related to this defect. The company is not currently facing legal action over the Chrysler airbag recall, but Top Class Actions monitors such recalls closely, as they sometimes lead to class action lawsuits.
