This filing is one of 35 Isuzu notifications from 2006 in this archive. For scale, 3,521 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 1 month.
Defect
The air charge pipe in the brake system is improperly secured, causing cracks to develop in the pipe due to engine vibration and similar forces. If the vehicle continues to be operated in this condition, air leaks from the cracked pipe, reducing the air supply volume and extending the time required to recharge the air system.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the air pipe with a new part and add one additional clamp.
