Filing in context
The Power Steering is the most frequently cited component category in this archive, appearing in 43 of its 4,890 filings. This filing is one of 44 Isuzu notifications from 2005 in this archive. For scale, 3,186 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.
Issue
The support position of the hydraulic power steering feed hose is incorrectly located, causing the hose to bend excessively and sustain excessive stress at that point. This stress may cause the hose to crack, allowing power steering fluid to leak and increasing steering effort.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, the feed hose support position is relocated and the hose is replaced with a new part.
