    Model years: 1981, 1982

  2. Carburetor system (fuel system)

    NHTSA 81V055000 Reported 30,000 vehicles potentially affected CHRYSLER CORPORATION

    Engine may lose power or stall due to carburetor flooding. This is caused by a poor electrical ground on the carburetor fuel bowl vent solenoid. Vehicles may also have driveability problems while the engine is warming up in cold weather. These problems include engine missing, sags, and hesitation. This is caused by a sticking carburetor…

    Remedy: Dealer will inspect carburetor and if necessary, the bowl vent solenoid will be repaired by resoldering (reconnecting) the external electrical connection free of charge. If applicable, the oxygen feedback sensor will…

    Model years: 1981

  3. Exterior lighting

    NHTSA 80V051000 Reported 29 vehicles potentially affected CHRYSLER CORPORATION

    Vehicles may not conform to federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 108, "lamps, reflective devices and associated equipment".

    Model years: 1980

  4. Springs (vehicle speed control)

    NHTSA 79V233000 Reported 7,000 vehicles potentially affected CHRYSLER CORPORATION

    Increased friction experienced in operation or servicing of the system may result in a total friction level exceeding the force capability of the throttle return springs. This may prevent the throttle from returning properly to a closed position when the accelerator pedal is released.

    Remedy: Dealer will inspect and, if necessary, install return springs which will perform correctly, at no charge to owner.

    Model years: 1980

  5. Structure

    NHTSA 79V232000 Reported 4,000 vehicles potentially affected CHRYSLER CORPORATION

    The defect involves the potential for exhaust gas (containing carbon monoxide) entry into the passenger compartment which can occur as a result of improperly retained plastic sealing plugs in the rear quarter panel/trunk area of the vehicle. Carbon monoxide is a toxic gas which in sufficient quantity and exposure time is potentially…

    Remedy: Dealer will install improved quarter panel sealing plugs without charge to owner.

    Model years: 1980

    NHTSA 78V020000 Reported 370,000 vehicles potentially affected CHRYSLER CORPORATION

    When the accelerator pedal on the involved vehicles is depressed and the accelerator pump is activated, a distorted accelerator pump seal in the carburetor may prevent the pump from delivering the proper amount of fuel.

    Model years: 1975, 1976, 1977

    NHTSA 77V211000 Reported 22,000 vehicles potentially affected CHRYSLER CORPORATION

    The columns may contain steering shafts in which the steering column coupling roll pin retaining notch was machined too deep. This may cause the steering wheel shaft to become disengaged from the rest of the steering assembly.

    Remedy: Dealer will install a cotter pin through the roll pin to ensure retention, at no cost to owner.

    Model years: 1978

  8. Recliner (seats)

    NHTSA 77V059000 Reported 372 vehicles potentially affected CHRYSLER CORPORATION

    The involved vehicles do not conform to federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 207, "seating systems". The self-locking latch that retains the driver"s seat in its upright position under vehicle impact conditions may fail due to improper heat-treatment.
