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 40 Isuzu notifications from 2004 in this archive. For scale, 3,353 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 2 months.
Defect
In the power steering system, the hydraulic line routing is improper. When the steering wheel is turned to full lock, the hydraulic line may contact the steering link rod; additionally, vibration during driving may cause the hydraulic line to contact the exhaust pipe. Continued use in this condition can damage the hydraulic line and cause hydraulic fluid to leak, increasing steering effort. In the worst case, a vehicle fire may occur.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the affected hydraulic line with a corrected part.
