4 recalls across 2 model years
The AMC Eagle has 4 recalls covering the 1980 and 1981 model years, with the most serious being a front wheel bearing and hub assembly missing a spacer on 1981 models that can eventually cause the wheel spindle to shear and lead to a crash.
The 1980 model year shares a comparably serious concern: the front axle half-shaft can fracture at its inboard end, degrading front wheel braking and steering control. Also on 1981 models, the B-pillar seatbelt assemblies may have been installed on the wrong side of the vehicle, meaning the shoulder belt may not restrain an occupant correctly in a crash. On 1980 models, certain driveshaft universal joint clamp fasteners may not meet specification, which can affect the integrity of the driveshaft connection.
