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, 3,690 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 6 years and 5 months.
Defect
On tank lorries, the mounting position of the bracket that connects the tank to the chassis frame is improperly located, causing cracks to develop in the frame near the bracket attachment point on some units. Continued use allows the crack to propagate, and in the worst case, the frame may fracture, leaving the vehicle inoperable.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, inspect the chassis frame for cracks. Where cracks are found, repair the frame and relocate the connecting bracket to the corrected position.
