1987 JEEP YJ Recalls — Canada & USA

The 1987 Jeep YJ has 5 recalls, with the most serious involving three separate issues that can each cause a loss of vehicle control: front brake hoses that wear through and reduce braking ability, loose wheel lug nuts or steering shaft clamp bolts that can cause sudden loss of steering, and a fuel tank sending unit gasket that can crack and leak fuel near an ignition source, risking a fire. On the visibility side, the sheet metal around the windshield wiper pivot mounts can crack, causing the wiper linkage to bind or stop working entirely, which reduces the driver's view in rain or snow. There is also a cruise control concern: when the set button is pressed, vehicle speed may surge above and below the target speed instead of holding steady, creating unpredictable acceleration behavior on the highway.
