Recall 86V058000

Wheels › Lugs/nuts/bolts/studs — Jeep · reported 2 May 1986 · 3,333 vehicles potentially affected

What's wrong

THE WHEEL LUG NUTS MAY HAVE BEEN IMPROPERLY TIGHTENED. ALSO, THE STEERING SHAFT CLAMP BOLTS MAY NOT BE PROPERLY TIGHTENED. CONSEQUENCE OF DEFECT: IMPROPERLY TIGHTEN WHEEL LUG NUTS MAY CAUSE THE LUGS TO BREAK AND EVENTUALLY RESULT IN THE WHEEL FALLING OFF. IMPROPERLY TIGHTEN STEERING SHAFT CLAMP BOLT MAY CAUSE COMPLETE LOSS OF STEERING ABILITY. EITHER OF THESE CONDITIONS COULD RESULT IN A LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL AND A CRASH COULD OCCUR WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING.

The fix

PROPERLY TIGHTEN BOTH WHEEL LUG NUTS AND STEERING SHAFT CLAMP BOLTS.

SYSTEM: WHEEL LUG NUTS/STEERING SHAFT/CLAMP BOLTS.VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: MULTI-PURPOSE PASSENGER VEHICLE.

Vehicles covered by this recall

Whether a particular car is affected and still unrepaired depends on its VIN — a model year being listed does not mean every car of that year is included. Check any VIN free on CarLogs, or at nhtsa.gov/recalls.

Is this car's recall fixed?

Recall repairs are free at any franchised dealer, for the life of the vehicle. A CarLogs report shows the recall status for a specific VIN as reported by the manufacturer — whether it's open or repaired, and whether the fix is available yet.
