Known issues on the 1985 Cherokee. Five recalls are on federal record for this model year: a steering-wheel defect, a headlight fault and a separate exterior-lighting fault — both causing decreased visibility that may result in a crash, an accelerator-pedal fault in the vehicle speed control, and a hydraulic power-assist brake fault that results in a loss of power brake assist and an increase in stopping distance. Owners have filed 24 complaints and Jeep has issued 3 technical service bulletins for the year.
From a routine service interval to a brake power-assist diagnosis or a hard-to-trace exterior-lighting fault, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 1985 Cherokee.
