1987 Dodge 600

Component

Fuel System, Gasoline

Consequence of Defect

fuel leakage may occur in low ambient temperature operation at connections of an engine compartment fuel supply hose to the pressure regulator and to the fuel rail.

Corrective Action

in the presence of an ignition source, fuel leakage couldresult in a fire.

Recall Notes

relocate pressure regulator; replace fuel supply with formed hose with revised routing configuration to ensure sealing integrity.

1986 Dodge 600

Component

Fuel System, Gasoline

Consequence of Defect

fuel leakage may occur in low ambient temperature operation at connections of an engine compartment fuel supply hose to the pressure regulator and to the fuel rail.

Corrective Action

in the presence of an ignition source, fuel leakage couldresult in a fire.

Recall Notes

relocate pressure regulator; replace fuel supply with formed hose with revised routing configuration to ensure sealing integrity.

1986 Dodge 600

Component

Seats:Front Assembly:Power Adjust

Consequence of Defect

a service replacement drivers seat cushion (manual seat type) may contain wrong cushion with a brace that could interfere with power seat adjuster mechanism and cause stress on the frame.

Corrective Action

seat frame could fracture and result in significantrearward movement of the seat back.

Recall Notes

replace frame with proper power seat frame.

1986 Dodge 600

Component

Electrical System:Wiring:Interior/Under Dash

Consequence of Defect

a resistor in the electronic panel cluster may be subjected to an electrical current overload due to failure of a switching transistor. consequence of defect: the overheated resistor could ignite and start an instrument panel fire.

Corrective Action

Recall Notes

modify instrument panel cluster by replacing the resistor with a fused resistor that will not ignite if overloaded.

1985 Dodge 600

Component

Seats

Consequence of Defect

drivers seat frame may experience fatigue failure at one (front/outboard) of its four attachments.

Corrective Action

this could result in some forward, backward or lateralmovement of seat, creating a potential for loss of control of the vehiclewhich could result in an accident

Recall Notes

replace drivers seat frame with a strenghtened version; also, reinforce power adjuster front crossmember to increase rigidity of seat attachment system.

Component

Fuel System, Gasoline

Consequence of Defect

fuel leakage may occur in low ambient temperature operation at connections of an engine compartment fuel supply hose to the pressure regulator and to the fuel rail.

Corrective Action

in the presence of an ignition source, fuel leakage couldresult in a fire.

Recall Notes

relocate pressure regulator; replace fuel supply with formed hose with revised routing configuration to ensure sealing integrity.

1985 Dodge 600

Component

Fuel System, Gasoline:Delivery:Hoses, Lines/Piping, And Fittings

Consequence of Defect

an engine compartment fuel hose routed to the fuel system pressure regulator may have an inadequately tightened hose clamp. consequence of defect: the fuel hose could leak and result in an engine compartment fire.

Corrective Action

Recall Notes

reposition and tighten to the proper torque level of the fuel hose clamp.

1985 Dodge 600

Component

Seats:Front Assembly:Power Adjust

Consequence of Defect

a service replacement drivers seat cushion (manual seat type) may contain wrong cushion with a brace that could interfere with power seat adjuster mechanism and cause stress on the frame.

Corrective Action

seat frame could fracture and result in significantrearward movement of the seat back.

Recall Notes

replace frame with proper power seat frame.

1984 Dodge 600

Component

Fuel System, Gasoline:Delivery:Hoses, Lines/Piping, And Fittings

Consequence of Defect

the potential for fuel leakage exists in the engine compartment at the fuel reservoir seam and its hose connections. the fuel reservoir is a silver colored can mounted to the air cleaner.

Corrective Action

Recall Notes

the hoses and the metal tube that attaches to the fuel reservoir will be replaced with new components. the dealer will also replace or reseal the reservoir.

1983 Dodge 600

Component

Suspension:Front:Control Arm:Lower Arm

Consequence of Defect

front suspension crossmember may corrode and fail at lower control arm rear pivot mounts if operated where salt is used to aid in snow removal.

Corrective Action

control arm could detach from the crossmember, adverselyaffecting directional stability, which could result in an accident.

Recall Notes

install attachment reinforcement brackets to prevent control arm detachment as a result of corrosion weakening.

1983 Dodge 600

Component

Service Brakes, Hydraulic:Foundation Components:Hoses, Lines/Piping, And Fittings

Consequence of Defect

location of hydraulic brake tube to both rear wheels causes interference and chafing between the tubes and rear suspension trailing arm pivot brackets.

Corrective Action

Recall Notes

dealer will inspect rear wheel brake tubes and reroute to ensure proper tube to pivot bracket clearance. any damaged tubes will also be replaced.

1983 Dodge 600

Component

Fuel System, Gasoline:Storage:Tank Assembly:Filler Pipe And Cap

Consequence of Defect

the involved vehicles may be equipped with an electrical fuel filler door release which is activated through a coiled current carrying wire (a solenoid). a short in the solenoid could cause sparking at the attaching screws of the solenoid.

Corrective Action

Recall Notes

a solenoid ground wire will be installed, by the dealer, to prevent sparking of solenoid.

1983 Dodge 600

Component

Equipment:Electrical

Consequence of Defect

the travel computer system wiring, on the involved vehicles, may be improperly connected. this condition can cause damage to internal components.

Corrective Action

Recall Notes

the wiring will be reconnected to ensure proper functioning of ignition system..

1983 Dodge 600

Component

Service Brakes, Hydraulic:Foundation Components:Hoses, Lines/Piping, And Fittings

Consequence of Defect

hydraulic brake tubing routed to the left rear wheel brake system may have been bent out of shape during assembly and could chafe against the exhaust system hanger bolt.

Corrective Action

Recall Notes

dealer will inspect and relocate tube, if necessary. a retaining clip will be installed to ensure adequate clearance for the tubing; any damaged tubes will also be replaced.
