Filing in context

The Exhaust Pipe is the most frequently cited component category in this archive, appearing in 35 of its 4,890 filings. This filing is one of 40 Isuzu notifications from 2004 in this archive. For scale, 3,849 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 3 months.

Defect

In compressed natural gas vehicles, the connection between the exhaust manifold and the exhaust pipe has insufficient strength. Engine vibration during vehicle launch can cause cracks to develop at the connection. Continued use allows the crack to progress until the exhaust pipe fractures, resulting in increased exhaust noise.

Corrective action

On all vehicles, replace the exhaust pipe with the corrected part.
