Plymouth Voyager Recall

 

Recalls are actions made when a safety body discovers an anomaly or defect in the construction of a part of a vehicle. In the USA the NHTSA or the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration administers the tests and orders recalls for the vehicle for the manufacturer to fix. Ensuring the safety of the commuting public. The Plymouth Voyager has had its share of recalls. Here is a history of recalls made by the NHTSA on the Plymouth Voyager. 1991: High-pressure hose in antilock braking system may leak or detach, which increases likelihood of brake lockup.

 

1991: High-pressure pump of antilock braking system may be porous, resulting in increased stopping distances. 1991: Liftgate-support attaching bolts can break, resulting in liftgate falling unexpectedly. 1991-92: Steering-wheel mounting armature can develop cracks and separate from the center hub attachment to the steering column; can result in loss of vehicle control. 1991-93: Piston seal in control unit can wear excessively; ABS could fail, and power assist might be reduced. 1991-93: Due to improperly staked left windshield-wiper pivot drive arm, wipers could cease to function. 1991-93: Seatbelt-release button can stick inside cover, so buckle is only partially latched; also, center rear-belt anchor clip can disconnect.

 

1992: Bolts that attach gas strut to rear liftgate can accumulate fatigue damage, if loose; liftgate could fall suddenly. 1992: Brake pedal pad attachment arm on small number of vehicles could break. 1992: Brake-pedal pad attachment to pedal arm may not have adequate strength. 1992: Fuel tank may drop, or lines may rupture near fuel tank, leading to possible fire. 1992: Zinc plating of some upper steering-column shaft-coupling bolts caused hydrogen embrittlement and breakage. 1993-94: Liftgate support attaching bolts can break, resulting in liftgate falling unexpectedly. 1993-94: Lug nuts on optional 15-inch stamped steel wheels may have been improperly installed, which could lead to wheel separation. 1993-95: Wiring that initiates driver and/or passenger airbag could short immediately after turning ignition key to "on" position, causing airbag to deploy inadvertently. This encompasses the recalls on the second generation of the Plymouth Voyager.

The 3rd generation of Voyagers had these recalls; 1996: Rear-seat bolts can fracture; in accident, seat could break away. 1996: Fuel can leak from tank at interface of fuel pump module attachment. 1996: On a few minivans, bolts holding integrated child seats can break. 1996: Static charge could cause spark as tank is being filled; vapors could ignite. 1996: Tank rollover valve can allow fuel to enter vapor canister, resulting in potential leakage and fire. 1996-97: Shoulder harness restraint on child seat can be difficult to release when latch plate becomes contaminated. 1996-98: The clockspring may have been wound incorrectly, resulting in illumination of airbag warning light and possibly causing the driver's side airbag to not function. Dealer will insect and replace affected parts on vehicles with 70,000 miles or less.

 

1997: Tires were damaged and may lose pressure suddenly. 1997: A few wheels were damaged during mounting. 1997: Certain master cylinder seals will not seal adequately, allowing fluid to be drawn into power-assist reservoir. 1997: The D-pillar mastic sound barrier patch could loosen and drop into the seatbelt assembly, rendering it inoperative. 1998: Shoulder harness webbing was incorrectly routed around reinforcement bar; can fail to restrain child properly. 1999: O-ring seals can degrade over time, allowing fuel leakage. 1999-00: Some trim material can slip into the rear outboard-seatbelt assembly and render the seatbelt inoperative. When a recall is made on a vehicle you own, it is best that you get the numbers provided for information and call immediately.
