The 1997 Plymouth Prowler has 2 recalls, the most serious being a front ball joint that can lose lubrication, separate from the lower control arm, and cause a sudden loss of steering control while driving.
The second recall involves the vehicle's frame, where welds may have been omitted in up to six zones. Missing welds in those locations can reduce the frame's structural integrity, affecting how the vehicle handles normal loads and how well it protects occupants in a crash.
