2009–2010 ISUZU FV Series

During the fitting of the Front Underrun Protection Device (FUPD) it has been identified that bolts of insufficient length have been used and the incorrect torque specification applied. This condition could cause steering control to be affected and in the worst case steering control could be lost.

0 ISUZU N Series

During the initial charging of the CNG fuel tank, by lowering the temperature of the gas, cracks developed in the soluble alloy of the safety valve. Subsequent charging of the fuel tank in the field resulted in the cracks becoming penetrating cracks. If a vehicle is used under such conditions it is possible that gas can leak from the safety valve.

0 ISUZU FX/GX Series fitted w/6UZ1 engine

In some instances the lubrication to the supply pump drive bearing may be insufficient.

2006–2008 ISUZU FV Series

After investigation it was found that due to poor fitment of the oil seal (Gap between the oil seal and needles in the bearing cap) there were some bearing caps where it is possible that a needle could have dropped out during transportation from the supplier in US to the assembly plant Japan. Also a lack of grease applied between the cross pin and the bearing cap was identified. If a vehicle is operated under such conditions, the cross pins may seize in a short period of time. In the worst case scenario the driveshaft universal joint could fail allowing the driveshaft to become disconnected and disable the vehicle.

0 ISUZU C Series

It has been found that some reinforcement plates, which have to be installed on the side rail of the frame, were missing. Due to insufficient strength of the frame, due to the missing plates, cracks could appear on the frame where the air suspension and shock absorber brackets are fitted.

2008 ISUZU N Series

Some of the vehicles may have received a propeller shaft with insufficient high frequency heat treatment. Due to inadequate high frequency heat treatment on the base of the propeller shaft slide yoke spline, the propeller shaft may lack the designed strength and a crack may occur in this area.

0 ISUZU E Series

The fault relates to a possible malfunction of the seat belt retractor.

2005–2007 ISUZU N Series

The fault relates to a possible diesel fuel seep or leak from the linkage pipe at the upper or lower fuel port on the diesel fuel supply pump.

0 ISUZU NLR

The fault relates to the steering yoke pinch bolt. This bolt may have been damaged during the installation processes. This condition could cause the pinch bolts final torque to vary from the desired specification. This could cause damage to the universal joint contact area with the steering input shaft on the steering rack assembly.

0 ISUZU F Series

A batch of F Series truck produced in early November 2007 may have a potential safety related fault. The fault relates to the steering yoke pinch bolt, this bolt may have been incorrectly tensioned during the assembly procedure and as a result the bolts thread may have been damaged.

0 ISUZU CXZ, FTR, FVM

There is a potenial safety concern that relates to the knuckle arm fixing bolts. The longer of the two bolts has been incorrectly manufactured and has not been heat treated inline with the desired specification. This may cause the bolt head to snap off and then transfer the entire load to the one remaining bolt. If this remaining bolt was to fail there is the potential that the driver could lose control of the vehicles steering system.
