The 1976 Jeep CJ6 has two recalls, the more serious being a steering concern where mounting bolts holding the steering gear and bracket to the frame can loosen and cause a partial or complete loss of steering control.
On the drivetrain side, this recall only affects vehicles with three-speed manual transmissions: transmission fluid can migrate into the transfer case, leaving the transmission starved of lubrication. Over time this can damage internal components and seize the input or output shafts, leaving the vehicle unable to move under its own power.
