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 33 Isuzu notifications from 2019 in this archive. For scale, 704 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 10 months.
Defect
On medium-duty trucks, the flexible pipe bellows section in the exhaust system has an incorrect structural design, causing it to resonate with engine rotation. This allows internal components to rub against each other. Continued operation wears through the bellows, perforating it and allowing exhaust gas to leak.
Corrective action
Replace the flexible pipe on all vehicles with a corrected/revised part.

状況
中型トラックの排気管において、フレキシブルパイプ蛇腹部の構造が不適切なため、エンジン回転により当該蛇腹部が共振するものがある。そのため、内部部品が擦れ合い、そのまま使用を続けると、摩耗して穴が開き、排気ガスが漏れるおそれがある。
改善措置
全車両、フレキシブルパイプを対策品に交換する。
