SERVICE INFORMATION

Condition:

During manufacture of the subject hoses, due to mislabeling, the hose supplier employed incorrect rubber material for the outer layer of the fuel return hose. These hoses do not meet ozone-resistance specifications and cracks may develop after an extended period of time causing the hose to leak fuel.

Correction:

To remedy this condition, all specified vehicles must be visually inspected. LOT NUMBER 0707 stamped on the hoses identifies the affected hoses. If the hose is stamped with Lot # 0707, the hoses must be replaced. Please see attached Inspection and Installation Instructions for details.

DEALER RESPONSIBILITY

Isuzu dealers must service all affected vehicles at no charge to the owner, regardless of mileage, age of vehicle, or ownership.

Whenever a vehicle subject to this campaign is in a dealer's vehicle inventory, or arrives at a dealership for service, the dealer must take the necessary steps to ensure that this campaign correction has been made before selling or releasing the vehicle.

All unsold new vehicles in dealer's possession and subject to this campaign must be held and repaired per the service procedure in this Campaign Bulletin before customers take possession of their vehicles.
