Has your Dodge been repaired?

Recalls here come from NHTSA’s records for the model and year. Not every vehicle of a model is included in every recall, and this site can’t see whether a repair has been done. Only a VIN lookup can tell you that.

NHTSA’s VIN search doesn’t show recalls that were already repaired, recalls more than 15 years old, or some small manufacturers’ recalls. Recall repairs are free.

October 15, 1980NHTSA 80V136000425,000 vehicles potentially affected

This would eventually result in obvious malfunctions of various electrical systems (dimming of lights, reduction in radio volume, etc.).
