Known issues on the 1989 MX-6. Two recalls are on federal record for this model year. The first covers the rear wheel bearing retainer ring, which was incorrectly machined at the factory; if it does not seat correctly in its groove, the axle lug nuts can break and let the brake drum, wheel, and tire assembly separate from the vehicle. The second covers the front seat belt buckles, whose red plastic "PRESS" release buttons can break and shed pieces into the buckle assembly, causing it to operate improperly and leaving an occupant without adequate protection in a crash. Owners have filed 37 complaints for the year. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind each of those systems are here.
From a rear axle and brake drum inspection to a front seat belt buckle check or routine maintenance, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 1989 MX-6.
