1998 DODGE AVENGER Recalls — Canada & USA

The 1998 Dodge Avenger has 2 recalls, both involving the dashboard pad sagging or shifting and interfering with the throttle cable or accelerator pedal, preventing the engine from returning to idle and raising the risk of a crash. When the dashboard material moves out of position, it can press against the throttle linkage and hold it open, meaning the engine stays at elevated power even when the driver lifts off the accelerator. A stuck throttle makes it difficult to slow the vehicle normally, particularly in traffic or when approaching a stop.
