3 recalls across 3 model years
The Dodge D200 has 3 recalls covering 1978, 1979, and 1984 model years, with the most serious being a wheel defect on 1984 models where arc welds securing the wheel center sections to the rims can develop fatigue cracks that propagate and cause a wheel to fail while driving.
The 1979 model year has a fuel system issue where the carburetor throttle return springs can be installed incorrectly, causing them to fail and leaving the throttle stuck open when the driver lifts off the accelerator pedal. On 1978 models with a tilt steering column, the column may have been assembled with the steering wheel indexing off by 180 degrees, and a factory rework involving tie rod adjustment may have left the tie rod ends with insufficient thread engagement, reducing the structural integrity of the steering linkage and raising the risk of steering loss.
