Filing in context
The Power Steering is the most frequently cited component category in this archive, appearing in 43 of its 4,890 filings. This filing is one of 9 Isuzu notifications from 1998 in this archive. For scale, 2,264 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 1 year and 2 months.
Defect
The power steering pipe is improperly routed, causing it to contact adjacent components. Continued use damages the pipe and, in the worst case, causes a power steering fluid leak, increasing the steering effort required at the wheel.
Corrective action
Reposition the pipe on all vehicles so it does not contact other components. Replace any pipe that has already sustained damage with a conforming unit.
