NHTSA Recall 26V189000: Chrysler Pacifica & Voyager Side Airbags

What the recall covers

Recall 26V189000 (Chrysler reference 06D) covers 178,246 model year 2022–2026 Chrysler Pacifica (about 154,367) and Voyager (about 23,879) minivans. The right and left side curtain airbags may have been built with improperly sealed seams, so they may not retain enough pressure during a side-impact crash — a condition that fails to meet Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 226 (ejection mitigation).

The remedy

Dealers will replace the affected side curtain airbags with redesigned units that meet the federal pressure-retention requirement, free of charge. Parts became available around May 14, 2026.

What owners should do now

• Watch for your Stellantis owner-notification letter and schedule the free airbag replacement.
• If an airbag warning light appears, have it checked promptly.
• Confirm whether your specific VIN is affected.
• Keep your recall letter and every repair order.
• If the airbag warning persists after the repair, document it and save the paperwork.

How to check your VIN

Confirm whether a specific vehicle is included by entering the 17-digit VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls. Inclusion is VIN-specific, not just by model and year.

When this recall can become a California lemon law claim

A recall is not automatically a lemon — it is the manufacturer acknowledging a defect and offering a free fix. Your Chrysler may qualify under California's Lemon Law if the recall repair is significantly delayed, doesn't resolve the problem, or your vehicle has other unrepaired warranty defects. In those cases you may be entitled to a buyback, replacement, or cash settlement, with the manufacturer paying your attorney fees. For the full breakdown, see the guides below.
