What are the defects?
Due to a manufacturing issue, the lower steering shaft attaching bolt may have a torque value lower than the required specification. Over time the lower steering shaft attaching bolt may lose tension causing it to dislodge.
What are the hazards?
If the steering shaft bolt dislodges whilst operating the vehicle, it will cause a loss of steering. This may increase the risk of an accident causing serious injury or death to the driver, occupants and other road users.
What should consumers do?
Owners of affected vehicles can contact their nearest authorised Isuzu UTE dealer service department, to schedule an appointment to confirm the tension of the lower steering shaft attaching bolt is at the correct torque specification, free of charge.
