-
Fuel system, gasoline
Fuel leakage may occur in low ambient temperature operation at connections of an engine compartment fuel supply hose to the pressure regulator and to the fuel rail.
Remedy: Relocate pressure regulator; replace fuel supply with formed hose with revised routing configuration to ensure sealing integrity.
-
Hoses, lines/piping, and fittings (fuel system)
An engine compartment fuel hose routed to the fuel system pressure regulator may have an inadequately tightened hose clamp. Consequence of defect: the fuel hose could leak and result in an engine compartment fire.
Remedy: Reposition and tighten to the proper torque level of the fuel hose clamp.
-
Hoses, lines/piping, and fittings (fuel system)
The potential for fuel leakage exists in the engine compartment at the fuel reservoir seam and its hose connections. The fuel reservoir is a silver colored can mounted to the air cleaner.
Remedy: The hoses and the metal tube that attaches to the fuel reservoir will be replaced with new components. The dealer will also replace or reseal the reservoir.
-
Gas recirculation valve (egr valve) (engine and engine cooling)
An emissions system valve may allow an overly rich mixture (excessive fuel) in the engine during deceleration. The mixture of air and excessive fuel can cause the engine to stall while stopping, coasting, or turning.
Remedy: All involved vehicles will be corrected by removing the emissions system valve and installing a vacuum line connector in its place.

Checking a specific 1985 Dodge Omni
How do I know if my 1985 Dodge Omni has an open recall?
Enter your 17-character VIN above. The VIN is on the driver's side dashboard (visible through the windshield), the driver's door jamb sticker, and your registration or insurance card. The check runs against NHTSA's live database and tells you which campaigns list your vehicle. 4 campaigns currently list the 1985 Dodge Omni; your car may already have been repaired under some of them.
Is the recall repair free?
Yes. Under federal law, manufacturers must fix safety recalls at no charge for vehicles up to 15 years old from the date of sale to the first owner. Contact any authorised Dodge dealer with your VIN and the NHTSA campaign number (for example 84V116000).
What is the difference between a recall and a complaint?
A recall is a safety campaign filed by the manufacturer or ordered by NHTSA, with a defined defect and remedy. A complaint is a report an owner sent to NHTSA; it is not verified, but patterns of complaints are what trigger NHTSA investigations and, eventually, recalls.
