DODGE COLT Recalls

The Dodge Colt has 5 recalls spanning the 1976–1992 production run, with the most serious affecting 1992 models where transfer case oil can leak and starve internal bearings, potentially causing a wheel to lock up suddenly and resulting in loss of control. The 1985 model year has a compliance recall related to emissions equipment not meeting Canadian standards. Going further back, the 1977 model has front seatbelt stalks where the internal cable wires can fray or break from repeated twisting and bending, weakening the belt's ability to restrain an occupant in a crash. The earliest recall covers 1976 models equipped with a 1600cc engine and automatic transmission, where a driveline vibration damper can break apart and send debris onto the road, creating a hazard for other vehicles.
