The 1986 Jeep Cherokee has 2 recalls, the most serious affecting 4-cylinder throttle body injection models, where a fuel line fitting can disconnect and leak fuel near the engine, creating a fire risk.
There is also a steering concern: certain vehicles were built with a steering linkage coupler that is out of tolerance, which can cause front-end misalignment and make the vehicle harder to steer and control.
