For the 1977 Fiat 131. 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 Fiat 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.

Summary: The drive shaft front centering spline may experience excessive wear due to insufficient lubrication. This can result in transmission jamming, a sudden elimination of power and handling difficulties. Excessive wear could also result in rear transmission housing damage.
Remedy: The drive shaft will be replaced if evidence of premature wear is found. Also, the rear housing and output yoke will be replaced with a new type that will permit sufficient lubrication of the spline. This will be performed free of charge.
