5 recalls across 4 model years
The Dodge Colt has 5 recalls spanning 1976 to 1992, with the most serious affecting 1992 models where the transfer case can leak lubricating oil, cause bearings to seize, and lock up a wheel while driving, leading to sudden loss of control.
The 1977 model year has a front seatbelt stalk where the internal cable wires can fray or break from repeated twisting and bending, leaving the belt unable to restrain the driver or front passenger in a crash. The 1985 model year has an emissions compliance issue where the vehicle does not meet the required emission device standard. Going back to the earliest production, 1976 models equipped with the 1600cc engine and automatic transmission have driveline vibration dampers that can break apart and shed pieces onto the road, creating a hazard for other vehicles.
