6 recalls across 2 model years
The Dodge Daytona has 6 recalls covering the 1991 and 1992 model years, with the most serious being a parking brake cable defect on 1991 models where mismatched cable lengths to the rear wheels reduce braking force on one side, allowing the vehicle to roll away when parked.
The 1992 model year has two related structural recalls where front frame rails may not be fully welded to the floor pan and dash panel. Over time, those weak joints can allow body panels to flex and sheet metal to crack, reducing the vehicle's ability to protect occupants in a crash. On 1991 models, the owner's manual incorrectly describes the front passenger door lock behavior, stating the inside door handle will not work when the door is locked. In fact, the door can be opened from inside even when locked, and a passenger unaware of this could accidentally open the door while the vehicle is moving. There is also an incorrect tire pressure placard on 1991 vehicles that lists the wrong inflation values, which can lead to improper tire pressure and affect handling and tire wear.
