In March 2007, Isuzu filed a statutory recall with Japan's Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism (MLIT) concerning the Exhaust Pipe, covering the Giga. The filing affects 1,675 vehicles manufactured between July 2003 and January 24, 2007.
Overview
| MLIT filing number | 1118360 |
|---|---|
| Type | Statutory Recall (government-mandated recall) |
| Date filed | March 6, 2007 |
| Manufacturer(s) | Isuzu |
| Component | Exhaust Pipe |
| Production period | July 2003 — January 24, 2007 |
| Vehicles affected | 1,675 units |
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 59 Isuzu notifications from 2007 in this archive. For scale, 2,506 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 3 years and 6 months.
Defect
The exhaust pipe near the engine-side exhaust flange has insufficient strength. Engine vibration may cause the pipe to crack at that location, resulting in an exhaust gas leak. In the worst case, noise levels may increase beyond acceptable limits.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the exhaust pipe with a corrected part. For vehicles equipped with a 6W-series engine, the corrected part uses a revised material and increased wall thickness. For vehicles equipped with a 6SD1 engine, the corrected part incorporates a flexible joint (SJM) on the exhaust pipe.
