The 1980 Dodge Diplomat has two recalls, the more serious being a front brake hose routing problem where the hoses can contact the front tires during sharp turns, causing hose failure and a loss of front braking.
The second recall is a compliance issue affecting only Canadian-specification models with the 318 cubic inch two-barrel carburetor engine. An incorrect propane idle speed printed on the underhood emission label can lead a technician to set the idle improperly, causing the engine to emit exhaust pollutants above the levels required by Canadian standards.
