Known issues on the 1992 Navajo. Four recalls are on federal record for this model year. The first concerns certain Firestone Wilderness AT and Radial ATX/ATX II tires, where tread can separate from the tire and cause a loss of vehicle control. The second covers the studs attaching the brake master cylinder to the vacuum booster, which can develop stress corrosion cracking; if a stud fractures the master cylinder can separate from the booster and reduce braking. The third involves the factory sunroof, where incorrect glass panel hinge engagement can let the panel separate while the vehicle is moving. The fourth covers the liftgate lift cylinder brackets, where a fractured weld can let the bracket bend and the lift cylinder ballstud disengage. Owners have filed 19 complaints for the year. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind each of those systems are here.
Whether you're inspecting the brake booster studs, checking a liftgate strut mount, or working through routine 4.0L V6 service, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and correct specification for your specific 1992 Navajo.
