NCAP overall
4 NHTSA recall campaigns on file. Recall repairs are free at franchised dealers.
Defect
WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL ON THE INVOLVED VEHICLES IS DEPRESSED AND THE ACCELERATOR PUMP IS ACTIVATED, A DISTORTED ACCELERATOR PUMP SEAL IN THE CARBURETOR MAY PREVENT THE PUMP FROM DELIVERING THE PROPER AMOUNT OF FUEL.
Remedy
DEALER WILL REPLACE THE CARBURETOR ACCELERATOR PUMP SEAL WITH A SEAL OF IMPROVED DISTORTION RESISTANCE. THE CARBURETOR WILL ALSO BE CHECKED FOR THE PROPER FLOAT LEVEL.
The record is thin — 0 NHTSA complaints — so owner-report data can't strongly confirm reliability either way, though 4 recalls should be verified as completed.
Yes — NHTSA lists 4 recall campaigns affecting the 1975 Dodge Monaco. Recall repairs are free at franchised dealers; check the VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to confirm the work was done.
