4 recalls across 3 model years
The Jeep CJ7 has 4 recalls across the 1979-1981 model years, with the most serious affecting 1979 models where a loose clamp bolt in the steering linkage can cause a mismatch between the steering wheel position and the actual direction of the front wheels, or cause a complete loss of steering control.
The 1981 model year has a seatbelt assembly issue on vehicles equipped with a rear seat, where the wrong buckle-end hardware was installed, leaving rear passengers unable to latch their seatbelts at all. The 1979 model year also has a separate issue on three- and four-speed manual transmission vehicles, where an incorrect gasket between the transmission and transfer case can block lubricant flow, leading to transmission damage and a vehicle that stops moving under its own power. On 1980 models equipped with halogen headlamps, some units were assembled with lights that do not meet Canadian headlamp standards.
