Stellantis filed this with NHTSA as a service bulletin dated Jan 16, 2026, received Jan 21, 2026, about the electrical system. It names 36 model years across Jeep, Ram, Dodge and Chrysler (2024–2026). A service bulletin is not a safety recall: it is the manufacturer telling its dealers how to diagnose or repair a condition, and whether the work is paid for depends on the warranty in force. Quoting the number at a service desk can save a diagnosis.

A PDF link is shown only once NHTSA’s own server has been seen to serve that document; the rest are checked over the following nights. Quote the number at a service desk; it is what the dealer’s system is keyed on.

What owners reported
Source: NHTSA complaint databaseOwners of the 36 model years this bulletin names have filed 2,738 complaints with NHTSA since 2015. 1,362 of them name Electrical System — the same broad component group this bulletin is filed under. NHTSA groups complaints coarsely, so that means the same area of the vehicle, not necessarily the same fault.
On the 2024 Jeep Wrangler, the 64 owners who gave an odometer reading for Electrical System reported it at a median of 15,000 miles. That figure is one model year’s, not the whole range this bulletin covers — medians from different model years are not averaged.

A complaint is one owner’s account, not a defect finding, and a bulletin is not a recall. Nothing here says this bulletin was issued because of these complaints, or that the repair it describes fixed them. Complaint files on this site begin in 2015.

Common questions
Source: NHTSA, 49 CFR 579.5Is Stellantis 08-012-26 a recall?
No. A service bulletin is a manufacturer communication filed with NHTSA under 49 CFR 579.5; a safety recall carries an NHTSA campaign number (two digits, a letter, six digits) and a federal duty to repair for free. Check the vehicle’s recalls by VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls, or on its page here.
Is the 08-012-26 repair free?
Not automatically. A service bulletin describes how to diagnose or repair a condition; who pays depends on the warranty in force, any extension, and the dealer. Quoting the number can save a diagnosis either way.
Which vehicles does 08-012-26 cover?
The manufacturer filed it against 36 model years across 4 brands (Jeep, Ram, Dodge and Chrysler): 2026 Chrysler Pacifica, 2025 Chrysler Pacifica, 2024 Chrysler Pacifica, 2026 Chrysler Voyager, 2025 Chrysler Voyager, 2024 Chrysler Voyager and more. Whether one particular vehicle is affected is a matter of its VIN and its build, not its model year alone. The document itself sets the build window: built on or before 31 May 2026 — the build date is on the certification label in the driver’s door jamb.
