Checking Prior Recalls

Yes, that's what you do.

The most serious recall was the steering system clip. You can check and see if they did it.

half way down you will see a picture of thesteering shaft heat shied and a plastic bit rightunder it. That was the fix. That plastic clipkeeps the steering shaft from collapsing if the internalshear pin gives way. There should be a zip tie holdingthe clip on.

You can also ask via the customer service portion of the Jeep website. They will run your VIN and let you now about any outstanding recalls.

That's good to know! Thanks!

I checked the VIN with the Jeep website and it claims that this vehicle hasn't missed out on any recall services. However, looking at the pictures on the web address you included in your previous post, and then eyeballing my own Jeep, I'm not real sure what I'm supposed to be looking at.

Should I be able to see this clip from a topside view under the hood? I certainly don't see any zip tie on anything.

Thanks!

Mark '93 XJ

I'm not that familiar with the XJ, but there should be a heat sheild just rear of the power steering box. That part is under the heat shield on the steering shaft. On mine it is burried and not easy to get at. Actually I have to remove the air box to gain access.
