Known issues on the 1987 Pathfinder. Two recalls are on federal record for this model year. The first covers the certification labels: incorrect tire inflation pressures were printed on them, and following those figures can lead to loss of vehicle control and an accident. The second covers the front seat belt buckle assemblies, where a mismatch of male and female rear seat belt hardware leaves passengers unable to buckle in and use the restraint system. Owners have filed 28 complaints for the year. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind each of those systems are here.

Whether you're correcting tire pressure specs on the door jamb label or inspecting the rear seat belt hardware, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 1987 Pathfinder.
