3 recalls across 2 model years
The Dodge Diplomat has 3 recalls spanning the 1980-1988 production run, with the most serious being a wiring harness defect on 1988 models where fusible link wires can become pinched under the speed control servo bracket, short-circuit, and ignite the wiring insulation and nearby plastic in the engine compartment. On 1980 models, front brake hoses can contact the front tires during sharp turns, wear through, and cause a loss of front braking. A separate 1980 recall, limited to Canadian-spec vehicles with the 318 cubic inch two-barrel carburetor engine, involves an underhood emission label printed with an incorrect idle speed setting that can lead to exhaust emissions exceeding the required standard.
