3 recalls across 3 model years
The Plymouth Reliant has 3 recalls covering 1981 through 1983, with the most serious being a fuel hose fitting issue on certain 1983 models where engine movement can abrade the hose and cause a fuel leak, raising the risk of fire.
The 1982 model year, specifically vehicles fitted with propane-fueled 2.2-litre engines, has a separate fuel system concern where the fill and outage valve fittings can corrode, creating a condition where any ignition source nearby can trigger a fire or explosion. On 1981 models, the brake lamp switch can fail internally and leave the brake lights inoperative, meaning following drivers have no warning when the vehicle is slowing down.
