I have been wondering the last few days if I have a lead foot. I notice that the gas gauge seems to go excessively fast. I read on another forum that the 97's have a problem with the fuel gauge not reading correctly. I have noticed when I fill up, It doesnt read full, only 3/4. I have searched but I can't find any evidence of a recall (As i have seen numerous reports of this). Does anyone own a 97 , and have there been a recall?

ha! i thought you were talking about another governors recall election! lol..
i am not aware of a recall on your jeep.... sorrty. i think there is a web site that lists the recalls... maybe someone else will know.

There was a recall back in the late 90s for a gas gauge related issue. I think it was more for the 1/4 tank and lower accuracy than anything else. FYI-I have learned recently that flat bottom skids will adversely effect your gauge readings as well.

Don't know of a recall, but the gas guage in our '98 is crap. Sometimes it reads correctly, sometimes it hangs up at 1/4 until you run dry. You can ask king4wd2 about that :rolleyes:
We did have the gas cap fail though. It lost its ability to seal and caused the "check engine" light to come on.:confused: Apparently all emissions related junk lights the engine light when it fails.
