The 1979 Jeep CJ7 has two recalls, the more serious being a loose steering clamp bolt that can cause the front wheels to point in a different direction than the steering wheel, or cause complete loss of steering control.
The second recall affects manual transmission models with either a three- or four-speed gearbox: an incorrect gasket between the transmission and transfer case can block normal lubricant flow, causing the transmission to wear and fail, leaving the vehicle unable to move under its own power.
