  1. Interior lighting

    NHTSA 80V010000 Reported 25,004 vehicles potentially affected CHRYSLER CORPORATION

    The ashtray bulb socket in the involved vehicles may have been manufactured with materials that do not possess the required electrical resistance qualities. When the ashtray bulb is lit for an extended period of time, the socket is subject to overheating.

    Remedy: The dealer will remove the existing bulb socket and wiring assembly and replace it with components that have the proper electrical resistance qualities, at no charge to owner.

    Model years: 1980

  2. Fuel pump (fuel system)

    NHTSA 79V149000 Reported 15,000 vehicles potentially affected CHRYSLER CORPORATION

    The possibility of engine compartment fuel leakage exists due to an inadequate staking operation that may allow fuel to leak by the fuel pump diaphragm and discharge from the pump body through the pump breather hole.

    Remedy: Dealers will replace all fuel pumps at no cost to owners.

    Model years: 1978
