Known issues on the 1989 Cherokee. Two recalls are on federal record for this model year: a headlight fault where decreased lighting visibility may result in a vehicle crash, and a broader exterior-lighting fault carrying the same crash risk. Owners have submitted 287 complaints and Jeep has issued 19 technical service bulletins for the year.
From a routine service interval to an electrical fault or a hard-to-trace lighting circuit, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 1989 Cherokee.
