Are there recalls for the 1992 Plymouth Voyager?
NHTSA lists 11 safety recall campaigns. They were filed about Brakes, Steering, Body / frame, Seat belts, and Glass / wipers / cameras. Check the VIN at nhtsa.gov; a campaign on this page can still be open on a specific vehicle.

No. Counts are reports people chose to file and they are not adjusted for sales volume. YearTell does not publish scores or a list of years to skip. Inspect the vehicle.
