Filing in context
The Axle is the most frequently cited component category in this archive, appearing in 29 of its 4,890 filings. This filing is one of 35 Isuzu notifications from 2006 in this archive. For scale, 3,205 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 7 years and 1 month.
Defect
The hub flange cap on the rear axle provides insufficient water resistance, allowing water to enter and cause rust on the spline joint that connects the axle shaft to the hub flange. Continued use allows the rust to progress, causing abnormal wear of the spline. In the worst case, the spline can no longer transmit drive force, rendering the vehicle inoperable.
Corrective action
Inspect all vehicles. On any vehicle where rust is found around the spline, replace the affected parts with corrected parts.

状況
後車軸のハブフランジキャップ部の防水性が不十分なため、内部に水が浸入し、アクスルシャフトとハブフランジを結合するスプライン部が錆びるものがある。そのため、そのまま使用を続けると、錆が進行して、スプライン部が異常に摩滅し、最悪の場合、駆動力が伝達されず、走行不能となるおそれがある。
改善措置
全車両点検し、スプライン周辺部が錆びているものは対策品に交換する。
