Chrysler is recalling 2,017 Pacifica, Pacifica Plug-In Hybrid and Voyager minivans because a cracked sensor component can disable electronic stability control without any driver-facing warning, according to FCA US LLC’s filing with NHTSA under campaign number 26V561000. That breaks down to 1,652 Pacificas, 357 Voyagers and 8 Pacifica Plug-In Hybrids, according to a breakdown of the recall filing.

The problem starts with a capacitor inside the brake pedal position sensor, supplied by CTS Corporation under part number 68236598AA, that can develop a crack. Chrysler’s filing states that when it cracks, the vehicle can lose electronic stability control, the system that automatically applies individual brakes and cuts engine power to keep a vehicle from skidding or rolling during a sharp maneuver. ESC has been mandatory on every new vehicle sold in the U.S. since 2012 under Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 126, precisely because NHTSA’s own research found it dramatically cuts single-vehicle crash risk, particularly in top-heavy vehicles like minivans and SUVs carrying a full load of passengers.

What’s Affected

• 2025-2026 Chrysler Pacifica
• 2026 Chrysler Pacifica Plug-In Hybrid
• 2025-2026 Chrysler Voyager
• Approximately 2,017 total units in the U.S.

That’s a small recall by volume compared to some of the six-figure campaigns Stellantis has issued this year, but the defect strikes at a system regulators treat as non-negotiable. A stability-control dropout wouldn’t necessarily announce itself with a dashboard light in every driving scenario, which is part of why NHTSA classifies a loss of ESC as a safety-critical defect regardless of how many vehicles are involved.

Key Points

• The remedy is a free inspection and, if needed, replacement of the brake pedal position sensor at any Chrysler dealer.
• Owner notification letters are scheduled to be mailed September 29, 2026.
• Owners can reach FCA customer service directly at 1-800-853-1403 with questions about eligibility or scheduling.

What Owners Should Do

• Look up your VIN through NHTSA’s recall search tool to confirm whether your specific minivan is included.
• Watch for the electronic stability control or ABS warning light on the dash, and note any unusual brake pedal feel, even though the defect may not always trigger a visible alert.
• Schedule the free dealer inspection promptly once notified, since stability control matters most in exactly the kind of sudden, unplanned maneuver a driver can’t predict.

This is Chrysler’s second distinct recall notice tied to its minivan and SUV lineups within roughly three weeks, following a separate software campaign covering tire pressure monitoring on Jeep’s Wagoneer and Grand Cherokee models, a pace that reflects how much of Stellantis’s current recall activity is being driven by electronics and sensor faults rather than traditional mechanical parts.
