Recalls
3 recalls name the 1992 Dodge Monaco. Newest first.
The ABS hydraulic control unit can experience excessive brake actuator piston seal wear causing pump-motor deterioration.
Risk and remedy
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.
The automatic shoulder belt systems can malfunction and become inoperative.
Risk and remedy
Risk
The lack of passive restraints could increase the risk of personal injury in the event of a vehicle collision.
Remedy
Dealers will replace the system track and drive assembly on automatic shoulder belt systems which are currently inoperative and those systems when they become inoperative in the future.
The end cap connecting the heat exchanger's core to the engine cooling system could rupture and allow hot coolant to escape into the passenger compartment.
Risk and remedy
Risk
The coolant escaping into the passenger compartment could contact the driver's feet and injure the driver. Also, steam from the heater liquid will cloud on the window surfaces and impair the driver's vision. In either case, failure of the heater core end cap could result in a vehicle accident.
Remedy
A coolant temperature controlled heater core fluid bypass valve will be installed.

I had to replace both front rotors because they rusted to the point of compressing. I understand 1989 to 1991 were recalled for this same problem. What I don't understand IS why my 92 wasn't recalled if it has the same problem. My braking was so poor that I went ahead and spent almost $300.00 and replaced rotors after I complained to chrysler and they said they whould not pay for it. I have old rotors if someone IS interested in looking at them. Thankyou ken
