Plymouth Recall Check by VIN: Neon, Voyager, Breeze and Prowler (2026)

You can look up Plymouth recalls, but a VIN search alone probably won't tell you much. For the last Plymouth models, every factory recall in NHTSA's data was filed in 2006 or earlier, and NHTSA's own VIN tool only covers recalls from the past 15 calendar years. So pull the full recall list for your model and year from NHTSA, then have a Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep or Ram dealer run the VIN to see what was never done. A clean screen on a 25-year-old Voyager is not the same as a fixed one.

Plymouth is an orphan brand. DaimlerChrysler announced in November 1999 that it was phasing it out, and the last cars were 2001 models. The PT Cruiser was supposed to be a Plymouth, but MotorTrend notes it reached showrooms as the 2001 Chrysler PT Cruiser, so check one as a Chrysler with our Chrysler recall check steps. I checked NHTSA's recall data for the last Plymouth models on Oct 19, 2026.

Who handles a Plymouth recall now

NHTSA's records show Plymouth recalls filed by Chrysler Corporation and, from 1999, DaimlerChrysler. That company kept changing names. A Stellantis media release from December 2014 says Chrysler Group LLC became FCA US LLC and describes FCA US as building on the foundations of Chrysler Corp. FCA US is now part of Stellantis. The Mopar recall page I read on Oct 19, 2026 lists Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Ram, FIAT and Alfa Romeo, but not Plymouth. In practice you call a Chrysler-Dodge-Jeep-Ram service desk, give them the VIN, and ask them to check the campaign history in their system. If they say a remedy part is no longer available, get that in writing.

Why the VIN search comes up empty

NHTSA's VIN lookup page says it covers incomplete safety recalls from the past 15 calendar years, and not recalls older than that unless a manufacturer offers more coverage. Its list of available manufacturers runs from Oldsmobile straight to Polaris, with no Plymouth. That means a "no open recalls" result on a 1998 Grand Voyager may only mean the campaign is too old to show. To get the real list, use NHTSA's recalls-by-vehicle data, which lists campaigns by make, model and year, then compare it against the dealer's VIN check. Our walkthrough on checking recalls on NHTSA explains the screens, and you can confirm the model and year with our Plymouth VIN decoder.

One more quirk. When I ran the 1999 Neon, the data returned zero recalls, even though the 1998 and 2000 cars had several. Treat a zero like that as "check by VIN and ask the dealer," not as a clean bill of health.

Recalls worth knowing by model

These are factory campaigns NHTSA lists for the last Plymouth models. It's not every campaign, and the full lists run longer for some years.

• Voyager and Grand Voyager -- 00V268 (1996-2000 with the 3.3 or 3.8): fuel rail O-ring seals can degrade and leak fuel under the hood, a fire risk. 04V480 (1998-2000): the clockspring can fail and leave the driver air bag inoperative. Dealers replaced it on vans with 70,000 miles or less, and DaimlerChrysler offered a lifetime extended warranty on the part above that. Several integrated child seat campaigns cover 1996-98 vans.
• Neon -- 99V114 (2000): front lower control arms may not have been welded properly. 99V043 (2000): some passenger air bags may not inflate properly. 01V154 (2000-01): the brake booster vacuum hose can swell and come loose from the intake.
• Breeze -- 04V021 (1996-99): the floor shifter's ignition-park interlock can fail, so the shifter moves out of Park with the key out. 06V001 (1999-2000 2.4): the power steering pressure hose can age and leak.
• Prowler -- 98V047 (1997): frame welds were left out in six zones. 99V313 (1999): some aluminum frame castings missed heat treatment. 03V034 (1997 and 1999-2001): lower ball joints can lose lubrication and separate.

You'll also see aftermarket equipment recalls in NHTSA's data, like replacement fuel filters, hitches and ball joints. Those apply only if the car has that brand of part, and a dealer's VIN check generally won't cover them, so look at what's actually installed.

What CARFAX and AutoCheck can and can't add

A history report may show recall data, and sometimes service records that prove a campaign was done. But the recall list itself comes from the manufacturer and NHTSA, and on a car this old the report is usually more useful for title brands, accidents and odometer readings. Our post on open recalls on a CARFAX report covers how those entries are worded. Look, a $1,500 Neon has usually been through several owners, and a washed salvage title is a much bigger risk than an unrepaired seat belt campaign.

CarVins resells CARFAX and AutoCheck reports under license, and we're not affiliated with CARFAX, AutoCheck, Experian or Stellantis. Mid October 2026 pricing was about $5.50 as a guest, about $4.50 as a member and about $6.75 for both reports, versus roughly $39.99 to $44.99 retail. It can change, so confirm the total at checkout.
