|---|---|
| Type | Statutory Recall (government-mandated recall) |
| Date filed | April 15, 2004 |
| Manufacturer(s) | Isuzu |
| Component | Steering Linkage |
| Production period | March 16, 1998 — January 29, 2002 |
| Vehicles affected | 17,183 units |
Defect
The frame bracket that secures the steering gearbox is mispositioned, causing misalignment between the steering gearbox and the intermediate gear joint. Continued use allows the joint fastening to begin loosening. In the worst case, the joint mating surfaces wear through and loss of steering control may occur.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, inspect the bracket position. Where misalignment is found, adjust the position using shims and replace the joint with a new part.
