Looking at recalls 1 and 2, these both describe fuel return line hose fitting issues on the fuel pump leading to fuel leaks and fire risk. Recall 1 affects all body styles; Recall 2 specifies 2-door vehicles. These are closely related but describe slightly different root causes (restricted fitting vs. improperly molded fitting). I'll treat them as a single thematic issue since they share the same component, same consequence, and same remedy path — fuel leak leading to fire.
Recall 3 mentions a passenger side sun visor detaching and being propelled rearward. The "AIR BAGS" component tag and the Mitsubishi Motors reference are a bit odd, but the risk text is clear: detaching sun visor causing occupant injury. I'll go with what the risk text says.

The 2004 Dodge Stratus has 3 recalls, the most serious being a fuel system defect where a faulty fitting on the fuel pump can cause fuel pressure to build and the return line hose to leak, creating a fire risk near any ignition source.
The remaining recall involves the passenger side sun visor, which can detach and be thrown rearward toward occupants, raising the risk of injury inside the cabin.
