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

1985 Plymouth HORIZON recalls, newest first

April 14, 2008NHTSA 08E0330006,903 vehicles potentially affected

Suspension

  • Aftermarket equipment: applies only if this part was installed
Summary
Federal mogul is recalling 6,903 aftermarket ball joint assemblies shipped between November 9, 2007 and March 26, 2008, which may have been packaged with incorrect nuts. The part numbers packaged with incorrect nuts are: K7147, K7329, K8683, and 104353. These parts were made for use on the various vehicles listed above.
Consequence
The nuts included in the packaging for these ball joint assemblies are missing the intended prevailing torque (self-locking) feature. If the incorrect nut was to become loose, the joining members may loosen leading to a separation of the ball joint. This may result in loss of vehicle control, possibly resulting in a vehicle crash.
Remedy
Federal mogul will notify owners and replace the parts free of charge. The recall began on may 22, 2008. Owners can contact federal mogul at 877-489-6659.

Summary

September 24, 1984NHTSA 84V1160002,385 vehicles potentially affected

Engine and engine cooling › Exhaust system › Emission control › Gas recirculation valve (EGR valve)

Summary
An emissions system valve may allow an overly rich mixture (excessive fuel) in the engine during deceleration. The mixture of air and excessive fuel can cause the engine to stall while stopping, coasting, or turning.
Remedy
All involved vehicles will be corrected by removing the emissions system valve and installing a vacuum line connector in its place.
