The 1987 Toyota Van is the cab-over model that carries its engine under a cover between the front seats rather than ahead of the cabin, and for 1987 a single unit was fitted: the 2.2L four-cylinder (4Y-E). It was sold in Base and LE trim, in cargo, passenger and window bodies, with either the standard or the automatic transmission.

Known issues on the 1987 Van. One recall is on federal record for this model year, and it covers the steering gear box: the steering bevel gear assembly may have water contamination which could lead to rust and corrosion, and that could cause erratic steering, which could result in an accident. Owners have filed 9 complaints against the 1987 Van, and no technical service bulletins are on record for it.
Whether the job is checking the steering bevel gear assembly for moisture and corrosion, or a scheduled service on a cargo or passenger body, the specifications are Toyota's own for the 1987 Van and not a neighbouring year of the same nameplate.
THE STEERING BEVEL GEAR ASSEMBLY MAY HAVE WATER CONTAMINATION WHICH COULD LEAD TO RUST/CORROSION.
THIS COULD CAUSE ERRATIC STEERING, WHICH COULD RESULT INAN ACCIDENT.
REPLACE STEERING BEVEL GEAR ASSEMBLY; COVER LIQUID GASKET MATERIAL WITH IMPROVED MATERIAL.
