Filing in context
The Other equipment is the most frequently cited component category in this archive, appearing in 44 of its 4,890 filings. This filing is one of 37 Isuzu notifications from 2017 in this archive. For scale, 2,732 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 7 months.
Issue
On large and medium-sized transit buses, the material and structure of the protective trim on the edge of the interior fuel tank cover are improper. When passengers board or alight, luggage or other items may contact the trim, causing the outer skin to wear away and expose the internal metal core. Continued use allows passengers to contact the exposed metal edge and sustain injury.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the protective trim on the edge of the interior fuel tank cover with a corrected part.
