Filing in context
The Power steering is the most frequently cited component category in this archive, appearing in 13 of its 4,890 filings. This filing is one of 12 Isuzu notifications from 2001 in this archive. For scale, 3,782 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 6 months.
Issue
During vehicle manufacturing, some power steering hydraulic pipes were deformed, causing them to contact the turbocharger cooling water pipes. Continued use in this condition may damage the hydraulic pipe. In the worst case, power steering oil leaks, increasing steering effort.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the hydraulic pipe with the corrected/revised part. Any cooling water pipes found to be damaged are also replaced with new parts.
