Plymouth Caravelle

1978

In Canada, the Caravelle first appeared for the 1978 model year as a version of the Dodge Diplomat for Canadian Chrysler-Plymouth dealers. As all Chrysler Canada dealers sold Chryslers, only the top-of-the-line LeBaron was sold in Canada, and the Diplomat and Caravelle did not offer the top line models.

The top of the range Caravalle was approximately $670 cheaper than the LeBaron. In 1983, Chrysler Canada added the E-body version of the Dodge 600, also offering it as a Plymouth Caravelle. The rear wheel drive Caravelle then became the Caravelle Salon, rather than taking the American "Gran Fury" name.

The coupe was dropped after 1986 while sedan production came to an end in 1988.

DEFECT #1 - SUSPENSION


Posted on: 2008-04-17
Description
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.

Corrective Action
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.
