Chrysler (FCA US, LLC) is recalling 2,017 model-year 2025–2026 Chrysler Voyager and Pacifica minivans, along with 2026 Voyager Plug-In Hybrid Electric (PHEV) vehicles, because a cracked capacitor in the brake pedal position sensor can cause a loss of electronic stability control. The campaign, filed under NHTSA Campaign Number 26V561000, places the affected vehicles out of compliance with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 126, “Electronic Stability Control Systems.” Dealers will inspect and, where necessary, replace the sensor at no cost to owners.
Highlights
- 2,017 vehicles potentially affected across the 2025–2026 Voyager, 2025–2026 Pacifica, and 2026 Voyager PHEV
- Defect: brake pedal position sensor capacitor may be cracked, disabling electronic stability control
- Remedy: dealer inspection and sensor replacement as necessary, free of charge
- Owner notification letters expected to mail September 29, 2026; VINs searchable on NHTSA.gov beginning September 9, 2026
Scope of the Recall
The campaign covers three Chrysler minivan populations: 2025–2026 Chrysler Voyager, 2025–2026 Chrysler Pacifica, and the 2026 Chrysler Voyager PHEV. NHTSA lists the potential number of units affected at 2,017. Chrysler’s internal number for the recall is 69D.
What Is the Defect?
According to the NHTSA recall summary, the brake pedal position sensor capacitor may be cracked. A cracked capacitor can cause a loss of electronic stability control, and a loss of ESC increases the risk of a crash.
Because the affected vehicles cannot guarantee ESC function, they fail to comply with FMVSS No. 126, the federal standard governing electronic stability control systems. NHTSA classifies the recall under the ESC component category.
Remedy and Owner Notification
Dealers will inspect the brake pedal position sensor and replace it as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed September 29, 2026. Vehicle Identification Numbers involved in the recall will become searchable on NHTSA.gov beginning September 9, 2026.
Owners may contact FCA customer service at 1-800-853-1403 and reference recall number 69D.
Pattern of Chrysler ESC Recalls
The minivan campaign follows two other 2026 Chrysler stability-control recalls covered by The BRAKE Report. In July, Chrysler recalled 11,980 Jeep Grand Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer L SUVs over a Brake System Control Module defect that could disable ESC and electronic brake assist, also cited as an FMVSS 126 noncompliance. In April, a 241-unit Jeep Cherokee recall addressed a BSCM defect affecting ABS and ESC. The Pacifica and Voyager action differs in that the suspect component is a pedal-side sensor rather than the brake control module, and the remedy is a hardware inspection and replacement rather than a software update.
