Known issues on the 1989 Wrangler. Two recalls are on federal record for this model year: a windshield wiper/washer linkage that can dislocate and bind in inclement weather, and an equipment fault in which the equipment could strike and injure persons outside the vehicle. Owners have filed 86 complaints and 12 technical service bulletins have been issued for the year.

From a routine service interval to a stubborn driveability problem or a hard-to-trace wiring fault, it keeps you on the correct procedure and specification for your specific 1989 Wrangler.
