This filing is one of 9 Isuzu notifications from 1998 in this archive.

Defect
The parking brake mounting bracket is improperly welded to the frame, resulting in insufficient strength. Continued use causes the bracket to deform and, in the worst case, the parking brake mechanism disengages and the parking brake becomes inoperable.
Corrective action
