All Plymouth B100 recalls (6)

Every NHTSA safety campaign that lists a Plymouth B100, most recent first, with the model years each one covers.

  1. Tank assembly (fuel system)

    NHTSA 81V019000 Reported 14 vehicles potentially affected CHRYSLER CORPORATION

    Certain vehicles equipped with optional step type rear bumper and a 22-gallon steel fuel tank may not comply with rear impact test requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 301, "fuel system integrity". If the vehicle is involved in a collision, fuel spillage could occur.

    Remedy: The 22-gallon steel fuel tank and associated plumbing and hardware components will be replaced with a 36-gallon plastic fuel tank, including plumbing and hardware.

    Model years: 1981

  2. Hinge and attachments (structure)

    NHTSA 80V064000 Reported 3,000 vehicles potentially affected CHRYSLER CORPORATION

    The hinge and roller assemblies supporting the rear of the sliding side door may be subject to failure as a result of processing deficiencies in the aluminum hinge body.

    Remedy: Upon inspection all aluminum hinge bodies will be replaced with sintered metal components.

    Model years: 1980

  3. Frame and members (structure)

    NHTSA 80V027000 Reported 1,000,000 vehicles potentially affected CHRYSLER CORPORATION

    The front rail extension may experience fatigue cracking near the area where the power steering gear attaches to the frame. If the crack progresses through most or all of the rail section, steering system free play accompanied by metallic rattle noise will be experienced.

    Remedy: Affected vehicles will be weld repaired and a reinforcement rod will be installed over the cracked area.

    Model years: 1971, 1972, 1973, 1974, 1975, 1976, 1977, 1978

  4. Air conditioner (equipment)

    NHTSA 79V176000 Reported 68,000 vehicles potentially affected CHRYSLER CORPORATION

    Condensate water may accumulate in the air conditioning blower housing; there is a high probability that this water will cause the blower motor to fail. Blower motor failure would disable the air condtioning unit and there would be no way to defrost or defog the windshield.

    Remedy: Dealer will drill a 1/4 inch drain hole in the bottom of the air conditioning blower housing to prevent water accumulation, without charge to owner.

    Model years: 1979

  5. Hoses, lines/piping, and fittings (service brakes)

    NHTSA 79V105000 Reported 50,000 vehicles potentially affected CHRYSLER CORPORATION

    The front brake hose routing may allow interference between the hoses and the tire and wheel assemblies during extreme turning angles.

    Remedy: Dealer will replace both left and right front brake hoses and install a new brake hose support bracket to eliminate contact with tire/wheel.

    Model years: 1978

  6. Suspension: lower arm

    NHTSA 79V104000 Reported 27,000 vehicles potentially affected CHRYSLER CORPORATION

    Lower control arms may fracture in the area adjacent to the lower ball joint, resulting in separation of the ball joint from the arm.

    Remedy: Dealer will increase the strength of both lower control arms by installing welded reinforcements.

    Model years: 1979
