Most common Chrysler warranty defects
For model years 2020–2026, Chrysler is essentially a minivan brand. The Pacifica, the Pacifica Plug-in Hybrid and the Voyager make up the lineup, and the 300 sedan ended after 2023. Repeat-repair complaints on recent Chryslers center on the plug-in hybrid’s high-voltage battery and electrical system, the side curtain air bags in the Pacifica and Voyager, and brake, traction and camera electronics. Several Pacifica Hybrid recalls have told owners not to charge the van and to park it outside, a loss of use that can weigh heavily in a claim.
Pacifica Plug-in Hybrid battery fire recalls
The Pacifica Plug-in Hybrid has had repeated recalls over its high-voltage battery pack. Recall 24V-538, filed in July 2024, covered 3,606 2019–2021 Pacifica Plug-in Hybrids whose battery pack could catch fire while parked with the ignition off. In June 2026, recall 26V-362 covered 17,277 2020–2022 Pacifica Plug-in Hybrids with the same fire risk. In both campaigns, owners were told not to charge the van and to park outside, away from structures, until it was repaired. The remedy is a battery pack control module software update plus inspection and, where needed, a new battery pack. A hybrid you can’t charge or park in your garage isn’t giving you what you paid for. See our pages on 24V-538 and 26V-362.

Pacifica Hybrid stalling and 12-volt electrical faults
Beyond the battery pack, the Pacifica Plug-in Hybrid has had electrical recalls that can shut the van down. Recall 23V-010 covered 67,117 2017–2023 Pacifica Plug-in Hybrids in which an internal transmission wiring connector could short circuit and cause an unexpected engine shutdown. The remedy was a power inverter module software update, plus instrument cluster and engine controller updates where needed. Recall 20V-334 covered 23,079 2017–2020 models whose 12-volt isolator post behind the driver’s seat could develop high resistance. Recall 23V-753 covered a small number of 2023 models whose isolator post was installed incorrectly and could short, creating a fire risk. A 2023 recall (23V-500) also replaced deformed fuel lines on some 2023 hybrids. Repeated hybrid-system warnings, stalls and no-start events are worth documenting every time.

Pacifica and Voyager side curtain air bag recalls
Chrysler’s most widespread recent minivan recall involves the side curtain air bags. In May 2025, recall 25V-302 covered 250,651 2022–2025 Pacifica and Voyager minivans whose curtain air bags might not hold pressure long enough because of improperly sealed seams, failing a federal ejection-mitigation standard. A related campaign, 25V-573, covered 2025 models. In March 2026 Chrysler replaced both with recall 26V-189, which covers 293,264 2022–2026 Pacificas and Voyagers. Vans already repaired under the earlier recalls need the new remedy as well. A separate recall, 24V-793, secured loose curtain air bag connectors on a small number of 2020–2023 vans. If your van has been in for the same air bag campaign more than once, keep every recall repair order. Our 26V-189 recall page has details.

Stability control, traction control and brake-sensor recalls
Recent Pacificas and Voyagers have had recalls involving the systems that keep the van stable. Recall 24V-240 updated software on 26,776 2024 Pacifica and Voyager minivans whose traction control system did not work while cruise control was on. Recall 26V-561, filed in September 2026, covers 2025–2026 Pacificas and Voyagers and 2026 Voyager Plug-in Hybrids whose brake pedal position sensor may have a cracked capacitor, which can cause a loss of electronic stability control. Dealers inspect and replace the sensor as needed. Owners usually notice these faults as stability, traction or brake warnings that appear and disappear. Photograph the dash each time and ask the dealer to record the warning text, even if no code is stored.

Rearview camera, seat and windshield recalls on Pacifica and Voyager
Smaller Pacifica and Voyager campaigns add up for owners who have to bring the van back again and again. Recall 25V-388 replaced rearview cameras on some 2023 Pacificas and Voyagers whose camera image might not display. Recall 25V-471 replaced radios on some 2024–2025 Pacificas that were built with the wrong unit, which could also blank the camera image. Recall 26V-327 covers certain 2019 and 2023 Pacificas whose central vision processing module could prevent the rearview image from displaying. Recall 22V-181 addressed second-row seat latches on some 2021–2022 Pacificas and 2021 Voyagers that could stick open. Recall 24V-238 replaced windshields on some 2024 vans that were not properly bonded. Each campaign is a separate visit, and together they can add up to significant time without your van.

Chrysler 300 (2020–2023) air bag and parking brake recalls
The Chrysler 300 sedan ended with the 2023 model year, so late examples may still be within the 5-year/60,000-mile powertrain warranty. Recall 24V-198 covered 284,982 2018–2021 Chrysler 300 and Dodge Charger sedans whose side curtain air bag inflators could rupture. Dealers replace both curtain air bags. Recall 24V-112 adjusted the parking brake on some 2023 300s (and Chargers and Challengers) that could allow a rollaway. Earlier, recall 21V-516 covered 2020–2021 300s whose windshield might not be properly bonded. If you bought a late 300C or 300S and powertrain problems keep returning, the remaining powertrain coverage still matters.

Signs your Chrysler may be a lemon
- You’ve been told not to charge your Pacifica Hybrid. A battery fire recall left your plug-in hybrid parked outside and unplugged while you waited for software or a new battery pack.
- Your hybrid shuts down or shows system warnings. The Pacifica Plug-in Hybrid stalls, loses power or displays hybrid-system faults after the 23V-010 software update.
- The same air bag recall twice. Your Pacifica or Voyager was repaired under 25V-302 or 25V-573 and now needs the 26V-189 remedy as well.
- Warning lights for stability or traction control. ESC, traction or brake warnings keep returning on a 2024–2026 Pacifica or Voyager after sensor or software repairs.
- A camera or screen that keeps failing. The rearview image or Uconnect screen goes blank again after a camera, module or radio replacement.

What Chrysler’s warranty means for a claim
Chrysler vehicles carry a 3-year/36,000-mile basic limited warranty and a 5-year/60,000-mile powertrain limited warranty, whichever comes first. Kelley Blue Book lists corrosion coverage at 5 years with unlimited miles. For the Pacifica Plug-in Hybrid, KBB lists battery coverage of either 10 years/150,000 miles or 8 years/100,000 miles, depending on where the van was bought and the state you live in. That longer battery term is important because the Pacifica Hybrid’s most serious recalls involve the battery pack. Your state’s lemon law sets its own time and mileage limits, so report problems early.
Many Pacifica fixes are software updates to the battery control module, power inverter module, radio or brake controls, and some recall remedies come in stages or are replaced by later campaigns. Get a repair order for every visit, including recall work, and make sure it shows your complaint, the work done and the dates in and out. If you were told to park outside or stop charging, keep that letter and note how long the restriction lasted.
Chrysler recalls and problem reports
No Chrysler articles match that exact combination — but that does not mean you do not have a claim. Repeat repair attempts, days out of service, and warranty status matter more than whether a recall exists.
A recall is not a claim
An open recall on your Chrysler is not, by itself, a lemon law case — and a recall that has already been repaired does not mean you don’t have one. Recalls are safety campaigns run by the manufacturer; lemon law claims turn on how your specific vehicle has performed under warranty. What matters is the record: how many times you brought the vehicle in for the same problem, how many days it has spent out of service, and whether the defect substantially impairs its use, value, or safety while covered by the manufacturer’s warranty.
A Chrysler that has been back to the dealer repeatedly for one persistent issue can qualify with no recall on file, while a vehicle with three open recalls may not qualify at all if each was repaired on the first visit. Repair-attempt and days-out-of-service thresholds vary from state to state, so the same facts can play out differently depending on where you bought or registered the vehicle. Keep every repair order — the paper trail is the case.

Jason S. HegedusManaging Partner & FounderFrequently asked questions about Chrysler lemon law claims
Can a Pacifica Hybrid be a lemon if I was told not to charge it?
The restriction itself is an important fact. Under recalls 24V-538 and 26V-362, Chrysler told owners not to charge the van and to park outside until it was repaired. Lost use of a plug-in hybrid’s electric range and garage parking, along with any days at the dealer for battery work, should be documented. Keep the recall letters and every repair order.
My Pacifica was already fixed for the air bag recall. Why do I need another repair?
Recall 26V-189 replaced earlier recalls 25V-302 and 25V-573 on 2022–2026 Pacificas and Voyagers. Chrysler stated that vans already repaired under a prior recall need the new remedy too. A second visit for the same defect is part of your repair history, so keep both repair orders. If the dealer says parts aren’t available yet, ask that the delay be noted in writing.
My Pacifica Hybrid shut off while driving. Is that covered?
A sudden shutdown is a safety defect. Recall 23V-010 addressed an internal transmission wiring connector on 2017–2023 Pacifica Plug-in Hybrids that could cause an unexpected engine shutdown. If your van shuts down again after the software update, or shows repeated hybrid-system warnings, report it immediately and make sure the dealer documents it.
Does the Pacifica’s longer hybrid battery warranty affect a lemon law claim?
It extends how long Chrysler must repair covered battery defects at no charge. Depending on where your van was sold, that could be 10 years/150,000 miles or 8 years/100,000 miles. State lemon laws usually have shorter windows, so a battery defect that shows up early should be reported promptly, even though warranty repairs remain available longer.
Is the Voyager covered the same way as the Pacifica?
Yes. The Voyager shares the Pacifica’s body and many of its recalls, including the side curtain air bag campaign (26V-189) and the 2025–2026 brake pedal sensor recall (26V-561), and it carries Chrysler’s basic and powertrain warranties. For the 2026 model year, the Voyager is also offered as a plug-in hybrid. A repeat defect in a Voyager is handled the same way as in a Pacifica.
