The short answer

NHTSA received CHRYSLER CORPORATION’s report on Nov 16, 1977. Copied from NHTSA on Oct 21, 2026.

Every line below is in NHTSA’s own words, with its source beside it.

What’s wrong with it?

The notice gives no hazard in a field of its own.

AN INTERRUPTION OF THE MAIN ELECTRICAL POWER FEED CIRCUIT FROM THE BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR MAY OCCUR DUE TO SEPARATION OF A TERMINAL CONNECTION IN THE WIRING CIRCUIT.

THE TERMINAL END OF THE POWER FEED WIRE COMING FROM THE COMPARTMENT MAY SEPARATE FROM ITS MATING TERMINAL ON THE WIRE GOING INTO THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT AT THE MULTIPLE CIRCUIT CONNECTOR (KNOWN AS THE BULKHEAD CONNECTOR) LOCATED ON THE LEFT (DRIVER”S) SIDE OF THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT FIREWALL.

What the record doesn’t say

  • NHTSA’s recall file doesn’t say whether anyone was hurt.
  • Whether one vehicle or seat has been fixed: only its maker, or NHTSA’s lookup with a VIN, can say.
  • This recall names only model years before 2015, which have no pages here. Your VIN, at NHTSA, says which recalls are open on a vehicle.
  • How many have been returned or fixed isn’t in the notice.
