Toyota sold the 1988 Van in cargo, passenger and window form alongside the better-equipped LE, and this manual is written for that model year on its own rather than for the nameplate as a whole. Where a specification or a procedure changed from one year of the Van to the next, the 1988 value is the one you get.

Known issues on the 1988 Van. One recall is on federal record for this model year, and it concerns the steering gear box, of the type other than rack and pinion: the steering bevel gear assembly may have water contamination which could lead to rust and corrosion. That could cause erratic steering, which could result in an accident. NHTSA also holds 2 owner complaints for the year, and no technical service bulletins have been issued.
Anyone working on a 1988 Van should treat that steering bevel gear assembly as an early inspection point: water contamination there gives no warning from the driver's seat, and the rust and corrosion it leads to are what the recall was written against.
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.
