1978 DODGE OMNI Recalls — Canada & USA

The 1978 Dodge Omni has two recalls of equal seriousness: one where the front suspension control arm can separate from the ball joint and cause a sudden loss of steering control, and one where the fuel tank may be punctured and leak fuel, raising the risk of fire in a collision. The suspension issue involves rivets that may not hold under hard impacts, allowing the control arm to break free and leave the driver unable to steer. The fuel tank concern stems from fasteners in the floor pan beneath the rear seat that may have pierced the tank, causing it to leak when full and creating a fire hazard if the car is in a crash.
