Notes: Chrysler campaign no n/a.possibility that the welding attachment of thesteering column housing to the instrument panel mounting bracket may fail.ifthis attachment fails, the steering column will remain held in position to theinstrument panel, but the column can rotate, as the results of loading duringtransmission shift lever operation.column rotation may cause a discrepancybetween the indicatory and actual transmission gear position.(correct byinspecting and arc welding the bracket to the column housing).

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.
