Filing in context
This filing is one of 44 Isuzu notifications from 2009 in this archive. For scale, 2,981 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 8 years and 5 months.
Issue
On large sightseeing and highway express buses equipped with indirect interior lighting, the material used for the interior light fixture case is inappropriate, causing the mounting section of the case to crack or break. Continued use in this condition may allow the interior light fixture to detach from the ceiling headliner and fall into the passenger compartment.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the interior light fixture case with the corrected part.
