The 1984 Jeep Wagoneer has 2 recalls, both serious enough to cause a loss of vehicle control: loose steering control bolts that can cause the steering to fail, and a rear axle assembly that can shed a wheel and axle shaft while driving.
The steering issue involves mounting bolts that were not properly tightened, which can allow the steering linkage to shift and leave the driver unable to steer. On the rear axle, improper assembly can cause the wheel bearing to fail, at which point the rear wheel and axle can separate from the vehicle entirely, with obvious consequences for control and stability.
