Summary
The 1991 Dodge Stealth has 7 recalls, the most serious being brake hoses that can crack during sharp turns with full suspension travel, leaking fluid, reducing braking effectiveness, and raising the risk of a crash.
The brake hose issue affects both ABS and non-ABS vehicles, with the left front hose at risk on all trims and the right front potentially affected as well. When fluid leaks, the brake warning light will come on and stopping distance increases. Separately, the all-wheel drive transfer case can leak oil, and as oil drops too low, internal bearings can fail and lock up the drivetrain without warning at highway speed, causing sudden loss of vehicle control. This transfer case defect is specific to RT Turbo models. There is also a compliance issue with the evaporative emissions canister, which is defective and does not meet Canadian emissions standards, though this does not present a direct safety risk to the driver.
