Conequence:
Action Need To Fix It: THE DEALER WILL TIGHTEN THE BOLTS WHERE NECESSARY, AND CHECK AND CORRECT THE STEERING WHEEL ALIGNMENT FREE OF CHARGE.
Notes: VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: TRUCKS.SYSTEM: STEERING; LINKAGES, CLAMP BOLTS.CONSEQUENCES OF DEFECT: LOSS OF STEERING COULD CAUSE LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROLAND AN ACCIDENT.
Item Affected: POWER TRAIN:MANUAL TRANSMISSION
Date Announced: 03/14/1979
Description of Recall: CERTAIN VEHICLES MAY HAVE AN INCORRECT GASKET BETWEEN THE TRANSMISSION AND THE TRANSFER CASE. AN INCORRECT GASKET MAY INTERFERE WITH THE NORMAL FLOW OF LUBRICANT. THIS CONDITION COULD CAUSE THE TRANSMISSION TO BECOME DAMAGED AND INOPERATIVE.
Conequence:
Action Need To Fix It: THE GASKET BETWEEN THE TRANSMISSION AND THE TRANSFER CASE WILL BE REPLACED, IF NECESSARY.
Notes: VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: PASSENGER VEHICLES.SYSTEM: POWER TRAIN; TRANSMISSION, MANUAL.CONSEQUENCES OF DEFECT: AN INOPERATIVE TRANSMISSION MAY CAUSE LOSS OF VEHICLECONTROL AND AN ACCIDENT.NOTE: IF THE TRANSMISSION BECOMES DIFFICULT TO SHIFT, THE LUBRICANT LEVEL MAYBE LOW. IT SHOULD BE CHECKED IMMEDIATELY. DRIVING AT PROLONGED HIGHWAY SPEEDSSHOULD BE AVOIDED UNTIL VEHICLE HAS BEEN REPAIRED.
Item Affected: STEERING: STEERING WHEEL/HANDLE BAR
Date Announced: 03/09/1978
Description of Recall: THE COUPLING WHICH ATTACHES THE INTERMEDIATE STEERING SHAFT TO THE STEERING GEAR MAY HAVE OVERSIZED SERRATIONS WHICH COULD PREVENT THE COUPLING FROM BEING PROPERLY TIGHTENED IN THE STEERING GEAR SHAFT WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL IS TURNED. THIS MAY ALSO CAUSE FREE PLAY IN THE STEERING WHEEL.
Conequence:
Action Need To Fix It: THE INVOLVED VEHICLES WILL HAVE THE COUPLINGS REPLACED.
Notes: VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: PASSENGER VEHICLES WITH MANUAL STEERING.SYSTEM: STEERING; STEERING SHAFT TO GEAR COUPLINGS.CONSEQUENCES OF DEFECT: LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL AND AN ACCIDENT COULD OCCUR.
Item Affected: POWER TRAIN:MANUAL TRANSMISSION
Date Announced: 02/17/1978
Description of Recall: THE INVOLVED VEHICLES MAY HAVE BEEN BUILT WITH THE TRANSMISSION ADAPTER PLATE SEAL IMPROPERLY SEATED. THIS CONDITION COULD ALLOW A GRADUAL TRANSFER OF LUBRICANT FROM THE TRANSMISSION TO THE TRANSFER CASE.
Conequence:
Action Need To Fix It: THE DEALER WILL INSPECT THE LUBRICANT LEVELS ON THE INVOLVED VEHICLES AND, WHERE NECESSARY, REPLACE THE REAR OIL SEALS.
Notes: VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: JEEPS WITH 3-SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSIONS.SYSTEM: POWER TRAIN; TRANSMISSION ADAPTER PLATE SEAL.CONSEQUENCES OF DEFECT: IF LUBRICANT TRANSFER TAKES PLACE, THE TRANSMISSIONCOULD EVENTUALLY BECOME DAMAGED AND INOPERATIVE. THIS COULD LEAD TO LOSS OFVEHICLE CONTROL WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING AND AN ACCIDENT.NOTE: IF TRANSMISSION BECOMES DIFFICULT TO SHIFT, THIS MAY INDICATE THATLUBRICANT LEVEL IS LOW AND SHOULD BE CHECKED AND FILLED. DRIVER SHOULD AVOIDDRIVING AT PROLONGED HIGHWAY SPEEDS UNTIL VEHICLE HAS BEEN INSPECTED ANDREPAIRED.

Notes: JEEP CAMPAIGN NO N/A. POSSIBILITY THAT THE BRACKET WHICH SUPPORTS THEAUXILIARY SNOW-PLOW LIGHTS AND LIFT ARM BRACKET MAY NOT BE SUFFICIENTLY WELDEDAND MAY FAIL RESULTING IN LOSS OF SUPPORT FOR THE SNOW-PLOW BLADE. (CORRECT BYINSPECTING AND REINFORCING THE WELD BY INSTALLING A SMALL "L" SHAPED CLIP).
Item Affected: STEERING:GEAR BOX (OTHER THAN RACK AND PINION)
Date Announced: 03/01/1976
Description of Recall:
Conequence:
Action Need To Fix It:
Notes: JEEP CAMPAIGN NO CJSTEER. POSSIBILITY THE STEERING GEAR ATTACHING BOLTS MAYLOSE TORQUE THROUGH USAGE. IF THIS OCCURS, SOME LOSS OF STEERING CAN DEVELOP.(CORRECT BY INSPECTING AND COATING BOLT THREADS WITH LOCKING MATERIAL ANDRETORQUING TO PROPER TORQUE).
