Recall number 97V149000 · Recall details
Structure: body: hatchback/liftgate: support device/strut
- What is wrong
- The bolts used to attach the strut to the body and the rear liftgate can accumulate fatigue damage if three factors combine. If the bolt is loose, the gas strut is over-pressurized, and the frequency of opening and closing cycles is higher than for the average customer, the bolt can fail.
- Risk
- Personal injury could occur if the bolts break allowing the liftgate to fall suddenly.
- Remedy
- Dealers will inspect for loose fasteners, if the fasteners are loose, the strut (and integral bolts) will be replaced. If the bolt shows evidence of torque, the bolt will be removed, larger washers will replace the existing washer and the bolt will be reinstalled and hand tightened to the target torqued.
Recall number 97V079000 · Recall details
Steering: steering wheel/handle bar
- What is wrong
- The steering wheel armature stamping can crack and separate from the center hub attachment to the steering column.
- Risk
- If the steering wheel separates from the center hub attachment to the steering column, loss of control can occur increasing the risk of an accident.
- Remedy
- Dealers will inspect the steering wheel for armature cracks in the center hub attachment area. Any steering wheels showing cracks will be replaced. All other vehicles will have a reinforcement plate installed to prevent steering wheel separation in the event cracking occurs.
Recall number 96V229000 · Recall details
Service brakes, hydraulic: antilock/traction control/electronic limited slip
- What is wrong
- The ABS hydraulic control unit can experience excessive brake actuator piston seal wear causing pump-motor deterioration.
- Risk
- If this condition occurs, the ABS function could be lost and reduced power assist would be experienced during vehicle braking increasing the potential for a vehicle accident.
- Remedy
- Dealers will test the vehicle's anti-lock brake system and repair the vehicles if necessary. Also the warranty on all ABS components will be extended to 10 years or 100,000 miles (except for the brake actuator piston assembly and the pump-motor assembly which will have a lifetime coverage). Owners will also be reimbursed for previous ABS component repair costs.
Recall number 96V099000 · Recall details
Fuel system, gasoline
- What is wrong
- Fuel tank flanges were not bent as required to allow the specified clearance for the fuel tank mounting straps and fuel lines at the tank.
- Risk
- The unbent flanges to the fuel tank will damage themounting straps and/or fuel lines. The damaged mounting straps may break causingthe tank to drop and the damaged fuel line will leak fuel. In either case a firecould result if the spilled fuel is exposed to an ignition source.
- Remedy
- Repair the flange by bending to the correct angle; replace damaged fuel lines and mounting straps.
Recall number 92V147000 · Recall details
Steering: steering wheel/handle bar
- What is wrong

Steering wheel separation
After an extensive investigation and analysis, chrysler has identified the defect as a fatigue failure, origination in the heat affected region of the projection welds of the steering wheel hub to steering wheel armature attachment.the hub is the portion of the steering wheel assembly that connects it to the steering column shaft and is attached to the underside of the steering wheel assembly by 4 welds.if cracks develop in the heat affected region of the welds and propagate through the steering wheel armature to each of the welds, the steering wheel can separate from the hub.this is a slow progressive failure which normally occurs at high mileage.in some cases complainants have reported a looseness or wobbling of the steering wheel prior to separation.to remedy this defect, chrysler will inspect the steering wheels of the affected vehicles for cracks in the hub area.if any cracks are found, the steering wheel will be replaced.all other vehicles will have reinforcing plates installed which would prevent a steering wheel separation should cracking occur.

Liftgate latches
Liftgate latches in the subject vehicles have failed in low and moderate speed impacts resulting in occupant ejections, injuries, and fatalities.there are two failure modes associated with latch failure: fork bolt-detent lever bypass, and inertial unlatching.the federal safety agency analyses of chrysler and peer minivans took the form of static and dynamic crash testing, engineering evaluations, complaint and field analyses, and real world data analyses.a technical report discussing these analyses can be found in the engineering analysis technical report in the public viewing file.chrysler has advised the federal safety agency that it will conduct a campaign to replace the latches on all the subject vehicles.the chrysler campaign will consist of notification letters to all owners; free replacement of all latches with stronger, safer latches regardless of the age of the minivans; national advertising to promote customer awareness of the campaign; quarterly reports regarding campaign completion rates; as well as additional measures to ensure a high completion rate, above and beyond the actions that normally would be taken in a formal safety recall.these include follow up written and telephonic notifications to owners who do not bring their vehicles in for corrective action.the federal safety agency firmly believes that the crash performance of the latches on these minivans raises serious safety concerns, and that the campaign addresses these concerns.the chrysler corrective action will increase the strength of the liftgate latches and decrease the potential for inertial unlatching, thereby reducing the risk of crash-related openings of the liftgate and possible occupant ejection through the liftgate opening.owners of chrysler minivans will get a stronger, safer latch free of charge at the earliest possible time, without the need for further technical investigation and complex and time-consuming litigation with an uncertain outcome.based on the above, odi is closing this investigation.

I have a 1992 ply voyager. In 2004 I had to have the engine and transmission changed since both were defective. The engine was $4,251.25 and the transmission was $2501. I have the receipts.
Tl*the contact owns a 1992 plymouth voyager. The contact discovered a recall pertaining to the ABS in his vehicle and took it to the dealer. He was informed that they were not warranting the repair. In 2003, the contact experienced brake failure and was informed that the repair was made under warranty at that time. The failure and current mileages were 11,800.
Tl*the contact owns a 1992 plymouth voyager. While driving 15 MPH uphill, the brake pedal extended to the floor when it was depressed. The vehicle finally came to a stop 5 seconds later. The ABS and brake warning indicator lights illuminated. The repair shop stated that the master cylinder was leaking fluid. The current and failure mileages were 70,000. Updated 01-14-08. *kb the ABS pump was replaced. Updated
My 1992 chrysler voyager has bendix 10 ABS brakes and once the brake booster was out. Our local chrysler dealer made certain that the booster pump was burned out. While the pump was already replaced in 2000 they said the warranty covers only 1 pump per vehicle!! As I know recall 96v-99 (chrysler recall #685) refers to a lifetime warranty (for booster electrical pump). Short life, isn't it?
1992 plymouth grand voyager se has peeling paint. The peeling paint has caused windshield loose and has become a safety hazard (they're not supposed to come loose in a crash). The most recent windshield replacement has shown rust starting to form around the paint.
Dt: the contact stated there was the federal safety agency recall 96v099000 involving the anti lock brakes. The vehicle was repaired accordingly to the recall. He felt though the recall repairs have not corrected the problem because the vehicle continued to have anti lock brake problems. . There have been no further repairs due to the expense.
Headlight lenses cloud up un many of these vehicles to the point it restricts the amount of light that passes through the lens which in turn gives poor visability. If the manufacturers choose to continue using these covers then they should replace them free of charge when cloudy.. This is a safety hazard.
