NHTSA lists 4 recalls for the 2000 Plymouth Prowler; the most frequently affected component is fuel system, gasoline — fuel pump. Owners filed 17 complaints, most often about suspension.
Problem: Certain tigas fuel pump modules manufactured between june 1 and september 24, 2006, sold under various brand names and p/nos. These fuel pump modules are sold as aftermarket for use in certain daimlerchrysler vehicles listed above. Silicone material used in manufacture of the flapper valve was out-of-specification, leading to excess swell of the flapper valve restricting the flow of fuel to the fuel pump module.
Risk: Fuel restriction could result in loss of power and/or engine stall, possibly resulting in a vehicle crash.

Service brakes, hydraulicCampaign 06E022000 · 13 Mar 2006
Problem: Certain aftermarket brake hydraulic master cylinders sold as replacement brake cylinders for certain ford, daimlerchrysler, and jeep passenger vehicles. These brake cylinders were sold under the brand names of napa, raybestos, aimco, ac delco, carquest, bendix, and wagner. Only products that were manufactured from july 27, 2005 through january 17, 2006 (date codes 0529 through 0602) are subject to this recall. When subject to very cold temperatures, an internal seal in the master cylinder could lose flexibility and may cause brake fluid to leak.
