Canadian recalls 4
Transport Canada recall campaigns for the 1983 Chrysler new yorker. Relevant if the car was first sold in, or imported from, Canada.
Suspension
On certain vehicles, the crossmember can become abnormally corroded at the lower control arm attachment. This could result in lower control arm separation and loss of vehicle control. Correction: crossmembers will be inspected and replaced if corrosion is excessive. Remainder will have crossmember retaining brackets installed.
Transport Canada #1988172 · Dec 1988Brakes
On certain vehicles, hydraulic brake tube routing to both rear wheels may allow interference between the tubes and the rear suspension trailing arm pivot brackets. Abrasion resulting from such interference may result in tube fatigue and partial loss of braking capability.
Transport Canada #1983053 · Jun 1983Brakes
On certain vehicles, hydraulic brake tube may interfere with exhaust system hangar bolt and eventually result in brake fluid leakage. This could create a partial loss of braking capability. Should this occur the brake warning light on the instrument panel will warn driver.
Transport Canada #1982099 · Dec 1982Fuel System
On certain vehicles, the electrical fuel filler door release is activated through a solenoid mounted to the back side of the fuel filler tube housing.

Such arcing could ignite fuel vapours that may be present…

Common problems & what to inspect
Based on all 5 owner complaints filed with NHTSA for the 1983 Chrysler new yorker, here are the most-reported problem areas — and what to check before you buy.
🔍 Drive through every gear: watch for slipping, hard or delayed shifts, and shudder. Check for transmission/driveline leaks and noises.
🔍 Listen for clunks over bumps, check the car sits level, and look for uneven tire wear and worn shocks or struts.
🔍 Steering should be tight and centered — no play, clunks or wandering. Test at low and highway speed; listen for power-steering whine.
🔍 Inspect for rust, fresh undercoating, mismatched paint, uneven panel gaps and any sign of prior collision or frame repair.
Pre-purchase checklist
- Match the VIN on the dash, door jamb and title — they must be identical.
- Cold-start the engine; listen for knocks and check for blue or white exhaust smoke.
- Test-drive through all gears at low and highway speed — no slipping, shudder or pulling.
- Confirm every warning light clears at startup (none should stay on).
- Check fluids — oil, coolant, transmission — for level, color and leaks.
- Look underneath for rust, fresh undercoating or signs of collision repair.
- Always get an independent pre-purchase inspection from a trusted mechanic.
