This is the factory service and repair manual for the 1979 Toyota Corona, and it is tied to that model year rather than to the nameplate as a whole. Toyota sold the 1979 car in Base and LE form, as a sedan, a wagon or a hatchback, with either an automatic or a standard transmission behind it, and the figures you work to should be the ones Toyota published for the exact combination in front of you rather than values carried back from an adjacent year.

Known issues on the 1979 Corona. No recalls are on federal record for the 1979 Corona, and no owner complaints are logged against the year either. What the record does hold is 7 technical service bulletins issued by Toyota for this car.
With nothing in the recall or complaint record to point at a known weak spot, those seven bulletins are the only published signal of what Toyota was seeing go wrong on this car in service, and they are worth reading against whichever of the twelve Base and LE combinations is sitting in your driveway.
