7 recalls found in NHTSA data as of September 22, 2026

For the 1988 Eagle PREMIER. These apply to the model and year, not to one particular vehicle: check your VIN to see whether yours is included and whether it has been repaired.

Has your Eagle 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. A Eagle dealer can also check your VIN. Recall repairs are free.

1988 Eagle PREMIER recalls, newest first

January 12, 1998NHTSA 98V005000293,369 vehicles potentially affected

Service brakes, hydraulic › Foundation components › Disc › Rotor

Summary
Vehicle description: passenger and multi-purpose vehicles originally sold or currently registered in the states of connecticut, illinois, indiana, maine, maryland, massachusetts, michigan, new hampshire, new jersey, new york, ohio, pennsylvania, rhode island, vermont, or wisconsin, and the district of columbia. The front disc brake rotors can experience severe corrosion if operated for an extensive period in the "salt belt." if the rotors are not replaced, the corrosion can eventually compromise the structural integrity of the stamped steel center hub section of the rotor.
Consequence
The reduced strength can allow the cast iron wear surface to separate from the hub, reducing the brake effectiveness of the vehicle.
Remedy
Dealers will replace these rotors with rotors that are coated with a corrosion protection.

November 7, 1995NHTSA 95V21300090,000 vehicles potentially affected

Seat belts › Front › Anchorage

Summary
The automatic shoulder belt systems can malfunction and become inoperative.
Consequence
The lack of passive restraints could increase the risk of personal injury in the event of a vehicle collision.

January 11, 1994NHTSA 94V006000125,000 vehicles potentially affected

Visibility › Defroster/defogger/HVAC system › Heater core

Summary
The end cap connecting the heat exchanger's core to the engine cooling system could rupture and allow hot coolant to escape into the passenger compartment.
Consequence
The coolant escaping into the passenger compartment could contact the driver's feet and injure the driver. Also, steam from the heater liquid will cloud on the window surfaces and impair the driver's vision. In either case, failure of the heater core end cap could result in a vehicle accident.
Remedy
A coolant temperature controlled heater core fluid bypass valve will be installed.

December 17, 1990NHTSA 90V20500097,500 vehicles potentially affected

Service brakes, hydraulic › Foundation components › Hoses, lines/piping, and fittings

Summary
Routing of the front brake hose may cause excessive hose flexing resulting in premature fatigue cracking of the outer hose cover.
Consequence
This could lead to hose failure and loss of brake fluidreducing braking effectiveness.
Remedy
Replace front brake hoses with hoses redesigned to provide a modified routing configuration.

May 31, 1988NHTSA 88V087000240,000 vehicles potentially affected

Visibility › Defroster/defogger/HVAC system › Heater core

Summary
Cooling system pressures during overheated engine operation may exceed the strength capability of certain components due to inadequate venting capacity of the system pressure cap.
Consequence
The buildup of pressure may cause heater core to ruptureand discharge hot coolant and steam in the proximity of the drivers legs.
Remedy
Replace all coolant system pressure caps with one having adequate venting capacity.
