2000 Dodge Neon & 2000 Plymouth Neon recall: speed control
⚠️ What's wrong
Vehicle description: passenger cars. Vapors from the positive crankcase ventilation (pcv) system CAN condense and freeze inside of the throttle body when the vehicle is operated in extremely cold ambient temperatures.
💥 The risk
This CAN prevent the throttle from fully returning to idle, which could cause a crash without warning.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will replace and relocate a pcv system tube.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
