June 28 (Reuters) - Chrysler parent Stellantis ( STLA )
is recalling 250,651 vehicles in the U.S. due to an
improperly sealed side curtain air bag, the U.S. National
Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) said on Saturday.
The recall affects certain 2022-2025 Pacifica and Voyager
vehicles.
An air bag with insufficient pressure retention increases
the risk of ejection and injury during a crash, NHTSA said,
adding that dealers will inspect and replace the side curtain
air bags, as necessary free of charge.
In a statement, Stellantis ( STLA ) said it is unaware of any
injuries or accidents related to the defect, and urged customers
to follow the instructions on their recall notices.
