The 1989 Jeep YJ has two recalls, the more serious involving fuel tank skid plates that are missing a flange designed to keep the rear frame crossmember from shifting forward in a collision, which can compromise the fuel system's ability to stay intact during a crash.
The second recall concerns exhaust emissions: affected vehicles may produce carbon monoxide at levels above the legal limit, meaning occupants and bystanders could be exposed to elevated concentrations of the gas.
