Pacifica and Voyager Airbag Recall: Replacement Groups and Status

Vehicle Recalls

Updated October 16, 2026

Certain 2022–2026 Chrysler Pacifica and Voyager minivans are recalled because their side-curtain airbags may not hold enough pressure after deployment. NHTSA campaign 26V189 covers Chrysler campaigns 06D, 10D and 11D. The current federal record lists 293,264 potentially affected vehicles and says owner letters were mailed May 14, 2026. A repair under an earlier campaign does not automatically complete this one.

Why pressure retention matters

NHTSA’s acknowledgement identifies improperly sealed airbag seams and a failure to meet the federal ejection-mitigation standard. An airbag with insufficient pressure retention can increase the risk of an occupant being partially or completely ejected through a side window, and of injury, in certain crashes.

The concern is the curtain airbag’s ability to retain pressure when it is needed. It is not a claim that every included airbag has already failed or that all airbags in the van share the same defect. The manufacturer’s filing identifies no advance warning for this condition, so an absence of a warning message cannot document that the remedy has been completed.

The replacement depends on the campaign

The manufacturer’s March 26 filing describes three repair groups. Dealers replace one or both curtain airbags as appropriate to the vehicle’s campaign, free of charge.

That distinction is useful when reading a repair order: replacement on one side can be the specified work for one group. It does not establish what another van requires. The dealer needs the VIN and applicable campaign to identify the correct work, rather than an owner choosing a side from symptoms or appearance.

Why an earlier airbag repair may not be enough

The current NHTSA campaign record says this action expands and replaces 25V302 and 25V573. Vehicles previously repaired under a prior recall need the new remedy completed. Keep the older record, but check whether 26V189 and the relevant 06D, 10D or 11D work remain outstanding for that VIN.

A general service receipt, an older recall letter or a statement that “the airbags were done” does not identify which campaign was completed. A useful record names the vehicle, campaign and work performed. If an old repair and the current recall status appear inconsistent, ask Chrysler to reconcile them.

The current total and mailed-notice date

The March filing and March 30 acknowledgement listed 178,246 potentially involved vehicles. The current NHTSA record, checked October 16, lists 293,264. These are differently dated descriptions of the same campaign; they should not be added together or treated as counts of actual crash-related failures.

The original documents anticipated May 14 owner notices. The current record says the letters were mailed on that date. A mailed notice establishes neither delivery to a particular owner nor completion of the repair. Changing ownership also makes the VIN-specific campaign record more useful than relying on whether a letter is in the glove box.

For an included vehicle, obtain Chrysler’s current repair instructions and confirm the applicable replacement group and appointment arrangements. The documents specify a free campaign remedy; they do not establish parts availability or a repair duration at an individual location.
