Filing in context
The Automatic Transmission (A/T) is the most frequently cited component category in this archive, appearing in 19 of its 4,890 filings. This filing is one of 54 Isuzu notifications from 2012 in this archive. For scale, 1,831 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 4 years and 5 months.
Defect
On medium trucks equipped with an automated mechanical transmission, the clips securing both ends of the oil hose to the pipes were incorrectly specified, causing them to be over-tightened and imposing excessive stress on the hose. This causes cracks to form in the oil hose. Continued use leads to an oil leak and, in the worst case, the hose may pull free entirely, rendering the vehicle inoperable.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the clips with corrected/revised parts and replace the oil hose with a new one.

状況
中型トラックに搭載された機械式自動変速機において、オイルホースの両端部をパイプに固定するクリップが不適切なため、当該クリップの締め込みが強すぎ、オイルホースに過大な応力が生じることがある。そのため、オイルホースに亀裂が発生し、そのままの状態で使用を続けると、オイルが漏れ、最悪の場合、オイルホースが抜けて走行不能となるおそれがある。
改善措置
全車両、クリップを対策品と交換するとともに、オイルホースを新品に交換する。
