Filing in context
The Ignition coil is the most frequently cited component category in this archive, appearing in 9 of its 4,890 filings. This filing is one of 33 Isuzu notifications from 2014 in this archive. For scale, 4,381 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 2 years and 1 month.
Defect
On large trucks whose fuel system has been converted from diesel to CNG, the ignition coil has insufficient durability. This causes the ignition system to lose the ability to deliver adequate spark output early in service life, which may result in backfires or afterfires. Continued use under these conditions may cause the throttle valve to deform due to backfire pressure. In the worst case, the vehicle may become inoperable.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the ignition system with the corrected/revised part.
