Known issues on the 1986 Cherokee. Six recalls are on federal record for this model year: a fuel-delivery fault in the hoses, lines, and fittings; a headlight defect that decreases lighting visibility and can cause a crash; a steering-linkage fault; a vehicle speed-control cable fault; another exterior-lighting fault that decreases visibility and can cause a crash; and a hydraulic power-assist brake fault that causes a loss of power brake assist and an increase in stopping distance. Owners have filed 26 complaints and Jeep has issued 3 technical service bulletins for the year.
From a routine service interval to a power-brake-assist diagnosis or a hard-to-trace lighting fault, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 1986 Cherokee.
