Known issues on the 1997 Voyager. Six recalls apply to the 1997 Voyager. On certain 1997 Voyager vans with either overhead-valve V6, the rubber O-rings sealing the fuel rail could break down with age and leak fuel under the hood, where it could catch fire. Certain vans may have had a steering-wheel clockspring wound wrongly at assembly, which lights the air bag warning lamp and can eventually open the driver air bag circuit. On certain others, loose trim could fall into a rear outboard seat belt and jam it. Owners have filed 346 complaints, led by air bags (64), engine and engine cooling (56) and power train (55); 14 reported a crash, 16 a fire and 13 an injury. Air bag wiring diagrams and fuel system diagnostics apply.
