The 1976 Dodge Dart has 3 recalls, the most serious involving a faulty weld connecting the steering bracket to the steering column housing, which can compromise steering control.
The steering bracket weld may not hold under load, potentially causing the bracket to shift or detach and leaving the driver with reduced or unpredictable steering response. On the engine side, Dart models equipped with the 360, 400, or 440 cubic inch four-barrel carburetor engine can experience a sticking step-up piston inside the carburetor, which disrupts the fuel-air mixture and can cause hesitation, rough running, or stalling during acceleration. The third recall affects only vehicles built with the police package: those cars were fitted with incorrect power steering components, which can affect steering feel and response in ways that differ from the intended system design.
