Filing in context
The Body is the most frequently cited component category in this archive, appearing in 108 of its 4,890 filings. This filing is one of 44 Isuzu notifications from 2005 in this archive. For scale, 4,648 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 and 10 months.
Issue
The mounting structure for the upper flip-up door at the rear of the vehicle is inadequate. The plastic hinges along the upper edge of the door degrade and fracture due to atmospheric ozone, ultraviolet radiation, and similar environmental factors. When a hinge fractures, the door may detach and fall while open, posing a risk of injury to workers.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, install safety straps on the left and right sides of the flip-up door. In addition, inspect the hinges and replace any that show visible cracks with new units.
