Overview
| MLIT filing number | 1112850 |
|---|---|
| Type | Statutory Recall (government-mandated recall) |
| Date filed | October 21, 2004 |
| Manufacturer(s) | Isuzu |
| Component | Propeller shaft |
| Production period | May 12, 1999 — April 17, 2002 |
| Vehicles affected | 354 units |
Defect
On four-wheel-drive vehicles, the center bearing bracket supporting the front propeller shaft has insufficient rigidity, and the clamp mating surface is machined to inadequate precision. Together, these conditions place excessive load on the mounting bolts. The bolts may fracture, generating abnormal noise. Continued use after fracture causes the bracket to fail, leaving the propeller shaft unsupported and rendering the vehicle inoperable.
Corrective action
On all affected vehicles, replace the mounting bracket and the affected bolts with corrected parts.
