Affected vehicles

Isuzu Elf 1994–2000

Hazard

In vehicles equipped with Hill Start Aid (HSA), the control solenoid valve has inadequate waterproofing, allowing water containing de-icing agent to enter internally. This causes internal corrosion, resulting in the hydraulic circuit remaining obstructed during HSA operation, causing brake drag. In worst case, brakes can overheat and catch fire.

坂道発進補助装置(HSA:ヒル・スタート・エイド)装着車両において、制御用電磁弁の防水構造が不適切なため、内部に融雪剤を含んだ水が浸入するものがある。そのため、内部が錆びて、HSA作動時に油圧回路が閉塞したままとなり、ブレーキが引きずり、最悪の場合、ブレーキが過熱して発火するおそれがある。

Remedy

Replace the hill start aid solenoid valve with a corrected part on all vehicles.
