Filing in context
The Frame is the most frequently cited component category in this archive, appearing in 39 of its 4,890 filings. This filing is one of 59 Isuzu notifications from 2007 in this archive. For scale, 4,195 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 5 years and 11 months.
Defect
On tank trucks, the mounting position of the bracket connecting the tank to the chassis frame is incorrect, causing cracks to develop in the frame near the bracket attachment point. Continued use allows the cracks to propagate. In the worst case, the frame may fracture, rendering the vehicle inoperable.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, inspect the chassis frame for cracks. Where cracks are found, perform repairs and relocate the tank-to-frame connecting bracket to the correct position.
