Filing in context
The Fuel Hose/Pipe is the most frequently cited component category in this archive, appearing in 29 of its 4,890 filings. This filing is one of 34 Isuzu notifications from 2008 in this archive. For scale, 3,812 of the 4,890 filings in this archive report a larger number of affected vehicles.
Defect
The fuel return pipe is improperly formed, causing it to contact the head cover. Engine vibration then wears a hole through the pipe, allowing fuel to contaminate the engine oil. In the worst case, the engine over-revs as a result of the fuel-diluted oil, causing internal engine damage and engine shutdown.
Corrective action
Replace the fuel return pipe with a conforming part.
