Known issues on the 1989 Fleetwood. Two recalls are on federal record for this model year. The first covers the fuel filter: a connector on certain replacement fuel filters wasn't manufactured to the correct specification, so the O-ring may not seat correctly on the fuel line, creating an inadequate seal that can lead to a fuel leak and, in the presence of an ignition source, a fire. The second covers vehicle labeling on limousines built by Empire Coach, where the vehicle alterer's label may be missing or incomplete, putting the vehicle out of compliance with federal certification requirements. Owners have filed 16 complaints for the year. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind each of those systems are here.

Whether you're inspecting a fuel filter connection or confirming certification labeling on a coach-built limousine, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 1989 Fleetwood.
