2025 Chrysler Voyager

Chrysler is recalling more than 178,200 examples of its Pacifica and Voyager minivans over an issue with the side curtain airbags.

Every model-year 2025 minivan is ineligible for a Top Safety Pick award from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety due to lackluster ratings in one or more of the agency’s crash and safety tests.

Chrysler has issued a recall affecting more than 250,600 Pacifica and Voyager minivans over an issue with the side curtain airbags.

Shoppers who have to drive in inclement weather such as snow and ice often prioritize all-wheel drive as a must-have feature. But is it really necessary, or will a front-wheel drive minivan suffice?

Reintroduced to the broader public after a few years as a fleet exclusive, the Voyager is just an entry-level Pacifica with a different name.
