4 recalls across 3 model years
The Austin Marina has 4 recalls covering its entire 1972-1974 production run, with the most serious being fuel system issues on 1972 models where the fuel tank can corrode prematurely and leak, and a separate vent hose can allow fuel to pool in the trunk, both creating fire risk.
The 1972 model year also has a fuel pump that can leak, adding another potential ignition source near the engine compartment. On 1973 models with automatic transmissions, the throttle cable can bind and fray at its mounting pin, causing it to fail and snap the throttle shut, dropping the engine to idle without warning while driving. The 1974 model year has a front brake hose that can deteriorate over time, which can reduce braking force at the front wheels.
