The 1976 Plymouth Arrow has 2 recalls, the more serious being corroded fuel tank mounting straps that can fail and allow the tank to drop away from the underbody, held in place only by its fuel lines.
If the straps let go completely, the tank can shift or drag beneath the vehicle, putting stress on the fuel lines and creating a potential fuel leak. The second recall affects vehicles with 1.6 or 2.0 litre engines: a reed valve in the emission control system can become fouled and stop functioning, causing the engine to emit exhaust pollutants above the levels required by regulation.
