Chrysler Air Bag Recalls Involve Deployment Failures and Leaking Curtains

7 NHTSA recalls · Chrysler · AIR Bags · model years 2018–2026 (we track 2018 and newer) · newest Jun 2, 2026

Pacifica and Voyager minivans dominate these Chrysler air bag notices, with repeated concerns involving side curtain protection. The October 2024 recall covers connectors on certain 2020-2023 Pacifica and 2020-2021, 2023 Voyager vehicles. Improperly sealed curtain seams appear in the May 2025, September 2025, and March 2026 notices; the March notice identifies certain 2022-2026 Pacifica and Voyager vehicles. Separate deployment concerns involve the steering column control module in the March 2024 multibrand recall and front seat harness connector springs in Braun's June 2026 recall. Chrysler 300 sedans have a different hazard: side curtain inflators in certain 2018-2021 vehicles may rupture and send metal fragments toward occupants.

Warning signs to watch for

• The notices for these recalls do not describe any warning sign an owner would notice.

Can you keep driving? What the notices say

None of the seven listed notices instructs owners to stop driving or park outside. This includes the March 2024 steering column module and Chrysler 300 inflator recalls, October 2024 connector recall, May and September 2025 seam recalls, March 2026 seam recall, and June 2026 Braun seat wiring recall. The notices describe injury risks from failed deployment, insufficient curtain pressure, or inflator rupture. Their lack of a stop-driving instruction does not establish whether a particular vehicle will provide the intended protection in a crash.

What the free repair involves

Repairs are free: 14B/33B inspect and replace the steering column module as necessary; 19B replaces both curtain air bags; A8B secures the connector. The May 2025, September 2025, and March 2026 seam recalls replace curtain air bags as necessary. Braun's June 2026 recall replaces the front seat harness connector spring.

Common questions

Why do Pacifica and Voyager air bag recalls describe different repairs?

The notices identify different defects. A8B addresses a curtain air bag connector, the seam recalls address insufficient pressure retention, and Braun's June 2026 notice addresses a front seat harness connector spring. Each notice assigns a repair to that specific problem.

What is the air bag problem in the Chrysler 300?

Recall 19B covers certain 2018-2021 Chrysler 300 and Dodge Charger vehicles. The right and left side curtain inflators may rupture due to a manufacturing defect, sending sharp metal fragments toward occupants. Dealers replace both side curtain air bags free of charge.

Do these Chrysler air bag notices describe a dashboard warning?

The supplied notices do not describe a dashboard warning light or another advance warning sign. They describe defects that can affect protection during a crash, including failed deployment and insufficient curtain pressure, plus the Chrysler 300 inflator rupture hazard.
