Filing in context
The Cooling System is the most frequently cited component category in this archive, appearing in 34 of its 4,890 filings. This filing is one of 3 Isuzu notifications from 1996 in this archive. For scale, 346 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 11 months.
Issue
The radiator cap mounted on the engine may be damaged during maintenance work. Damage reduces the cap's sealing performance, and continued use in this condition may allow a small amount of coolant to leak.
