Known issues on the 1989 Skyhawk. A single recall is listed for the 1989 Skyhawk: certain passenger cars were called back because shallow creases pressed into the underside of the fuel tank could crack as the tank flexed with routine pressure changes, letting fuel seep out where a spark could ignite it. A replacement tank was the remedy, and the campaign covered 13,095 vehicles. Owners submitted 3 complaints, and they land in different places: 1 concerns latches, locks and linkages, 1 the power train and 1 the structure. For the drivetrain and body behind those reports, the manual supplies procedures, specifications, torque values, wiring diagrams and diagnostics, and it provides the same for the engine, fuel system and brakes of the coupe, wagon and sedan.
