Known issues on the 1987 Mighty Max. NHTSA lists 1 recall and 4 owner complaints for this truck, and they point at the same place. The recall reached certain 1987 Mighty Max trucks fitted with Takata front seat belts: the red buckle release button could break, and the pieces could jam the buckle so the belt would not hold an occupant properly in a collision. Owners were told to check both front buckles and the buttons for cracks. Three of the 4 complaints involve seat belts. Seat belt torque values sit in the manual with body procedures and electrical wiring diagrams.
