Overview
| MLIT filing number | 1110740 |
|---|---|
| Type | Statutory Recall (government-mandated recall) |
| Date filed | April 22, 2004 |
| Manufacturer(s) | Isuzu, Nissan |
| Component | Muffler |
| Production period | July 15, 2003 — January 30, 2004 |
| Vehicles affected | 157 units |
Defect
On vehicles retrofitted with an additional catalyst to comply with diesel emission regulations enforced in the Greater Tokyo Metropolitan Area (Saitama, Chiba, Tokyo, and Kanagawa prefectures), the exhaust pipe forward of the main muffler has insufficient strength to withstand engine vibration. Continued use may cause the exhaust pipe to fracture, resulting in increased noise. Note: The same corrective action will be applied to in-service vehicles on which the same catalyst was installed.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the muffler assembly with the corrected/revised part.
