1978 DODGE RD200 Recalls — Canada & USA

The 1978 Dodge RD200 has 2 recalls, both centered on a steering defect where the fasteners connecting the steering gear to its mounting bracket can loosen, causing excessive play in the steering wheel and reduced control over the vehicle. Note that these vehicles are specially built for operation on railroad rails, so the steering concern applies in that context. Loose fasteners at the steering gear bracket allow the steering assembly to shift, meaning the driver may have to turn the wheel significantly before the vehicle responds, making precise directional control difficult.
