Known issues on the 1997 Wrangler. Three recalls are on federal record for this model year: a hydraulic service-brake fault where a loss of brake fluid can lower brake line pressure and increase stopping distance; an equipment defect where the cockpit could strike and injure people outside the vehicle; and a fuel-pump fuel leak that could cause a fire in the presence of an ignition source. Owners have filed 548 complaints and Jeep has issued 78 technical service bulletins for the year.
From a routine service interval to a stubborn brake or fuel-system repair to a hard-to-trace wiring fault, this manual keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 1997 Wrangler.
CERTAIN AFTERMARKET BRAKE HYDRAULIC MASTER CYLINDERS SOLD AS REPLACEMENT BRAKE CYLINDERS FOR CERTAIN FORD, DAIMLERCHRYSLER, AND JEEP PASSENGER VEHICLES. THESE BRAKE CYLINDERS WERE SOLD UNDER THE BRAND NAMES OF NAPA, RAYBESTOS, AIMCO, AC DELCO, CARQUEST, BENDIX, AND WAGNER. ONLY PRODUCTS THAT WERE MANUFACTURED FROM JULY 27, 2005 THROUGH JANUARY 17, 2006 (DATE CODES 0529 THROUGH 0602) ARE SUBJECT TO THIS RECALL. WHEN SUBJECT TO VERY COLD TEMPERATURES, AN INTERNAL SEAL IN THE MASTER CYLINDER COULD LOSE FLEXIBILITY AND MAY CAUSE BRAKE FLUID TO LEAK.
Consequence
LOSS OF BRAKE FLUID CAN LEAD TO A DECREASE IN BRAKE LINE PRESSURE AND AN INCREASE IN STOPPING DISTANCE, WHICH CAN RESULT IN A VEHICLE CRASH.
