DODGE D200 Recalls

The Dodge D200 has 3 recalls spanning 1978 to 1984, with the most serious being a wheel defect on 1984 models where arc welds securing the center section to the rim can develop fatigue cracks, potentially leading to wheel failure while driving. The 1979 model year has a fuel system concern where the carburetor throttle return springs may have been installed incorrectly, which can prevent the throttle from snapping shut when the driver lifts off the accelerator pedal, leaving the engine stuck at an elevated throttle. On 1978 models with the tilt steering column, a misassembled steering column from the supplier can place the steering wheel indexing serrations 180 degrees out of position, and a plant rework involving tie rod adjustment on some of these vehicles may have left insufficient thread engagement in the tie rod ends, undermining the structural integrity of the steering linkage.
