About this model

The Chrysler New Yorker is an automobile model produced by Chrysler from 1940 until 1996. For several decades, it served as either the brand's flagship model or as a junior sedan to the Chrysler Imperial, the latter during the years in which the Imperial name was used within the Chrysler lineup rather than a standalone brand.

Regulator investigations

Opened by NHTSA's Office of Defects Investigation. An investigation is a question the regulator asked about a possible defect, not a fault it found — most end without a recall.

What the maker told its dealers

Service bulletins are the manufacturer's own repair guidance to dealers, filed with NHTSA. A bulletin is not a defect finding; the count rises with how many things a maker writes down, not only with how many go wrong.

Chrysler filed 82 bulletins about the 1997 New Yorker.

74 more.

Grouped by NHTSA's top-level system; a bulletin filed under a sub-heading counts toward its system.
