Filing in context
The Fuel Filter is the most frequently cited component category in this archive, appearing in 11 of its 4,890 filings. This filing is one of 5 Isuzu notifications from 1994 in this archive. For scale, 1,917 of the 4,890 filings in this archive report a larger number of affected vehicles; the vehicles involved here were manufactured over a span of about 6 years and 3 months.
Defect
The bracket that mounts the fuel filter to the engine was manufactured with insufficient dimensional accuracy, causing excessive stress to develop in the bracket and potentially leading to fracture. Continued use may then cause the fuel pipe connected to the fuel filter — used to return excess fuel from the injection nozzles — to fracture, resulting in a fuel leak. In the worst case, a vehicle fire may occur.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, inspect the affected bracket and replace it with a new part if a crack is found. Once the corrected replacement bracket becomes available, replace the bracket with the corrected part on all vehicles.
