Filing in context
The Wiring is the most frequently cited component category in this archive, appearing in 236 of its 4,890 filings. This filing is one of 37 Isuzu notifications from 2017 in this archive. For scale, 3,188 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 1 year and 1 month.
Defect
On large and medium route buses, the wiring routed to the instrument panel below the driver's seat is improperly routed, causing the wiring to contact the edge of the instrument panel. Continued use can damage the wire insulation, resulting in a short circuit. In the worst case, the engine may stall while driving and fail to restart.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, a protective material is added to the driver's seat instrument panel. The wiring in that area is then inspected, and any damaged wiring is repaired.
