1977 Dodge Monaco recalls 3
Recall repairs are free. Your dealer fixes them whether or not you bought the car there - check your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see if yours is done. What to do
- The problem
- The plastic transmission shift linkage bushings installed on the involved vehicles may become heat damaged because they are located near the mini-catalytic converter. This condition could alter the adjusted relationship of the transmission shift linkage, causing the transmission to be in a gear position other than that indicated by the gear shift selector.
- The fix
- Dealer will replace the plastic bushings with steel bushings and install retaining clips to ensure that shift rod is securely engaged to the linkage system.
- The problem
- The required muffler to floor pan heat shields were omitted from the involved vehicles. These heat shields are necessary to protect the passenger compartment interior materials, including seat belt webbing, from heat damage.
- The fix
- The dealer will install the necessary heat shields on all affected vehicles, free of charge.
