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, 4,121 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 6 months.
Defect
On aerial work platform vehicles, improper installation of the exhaust pipe leaves a gap at the clamp jaw. Continued use may cause the clamp bolt to fracture, allowing the exhaust pipe to shift and direct exhaust gases onto a wooden jack base stored nearby. This can scorch the jack base and, in the worst case, result in a vehicle fire.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, inspect the exhaust pipe clamp for proper torque. Any clamp with a gap at the jaw must be replaced with a new unit. In addition, install a heat protector on the jack base storage box.
