Filing in context
The Steering Gear Box is the most frequently cited component category in this archive, appearing in 10 of its 4,890 filings. This filing is one of 9 Isuzu notifications from 2002 in this archive. For scale, 2,714 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 months.
Issue
In the steering system, the fixing nut on the hydraulic control section inside the steering gear box is improperly machined on some units. This may cause the hydraulic power assist function to degrade, increasing the effort required to operate the steering wheel.
