3 recalls across 2 model years
The Dodge Aries has 3 recalls spanning the 1981–1985 production run, the most serious affecting 1981 models with 2.6-litre engines, where the throttle return spring can jam and prevent the throttle from snapping back to idle, leaving the engine at elevated power with no driver input.
The other 1981 recall involves brake fluid that may have been filled at the factory with fluid containing excess water, which lowers the fluid's boiling point and can cause brake fade or reduced stopping ability under repeated use. On the 1985 model year, there is a compliance issue where certain vehicles may not meet exhaust emissions standards.
