Known issues on the 1987 Comanche. Five recalls are on federal record for this model year: inconsistent cruise-control operation that could cause a loss of control and an accident, a speed-control linkage that could keep the accelerator from returning to idle when released, a fuel-system delivery hose, line, and fitting defect, a steering-linkage defect, and a hydraulic power-brake-assist fault that would cause a loss of power brake assist and an increase in stopping distance. Owners have filed 5 complaints, and no technical service bulletins are on federal record for the year. This manual carries the factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind each of those systems.

From a routine service interval to a brake or steering repair or a hard-to-trace cruise-control fault, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 1987 Comanche.
