Affected vehicles

Isuzu GIGA 2004

Hazard

In the power steering mechanism, hydraulic piping routing is improper. When the steering wheel is turned to its maximum angle, the piping may interfere with the link rod. Additionally, vibration during driving may cause the piping to interfere with the exhaust pipe. If the vehicle continues to be used in this condition, the piping may become damaged, causing operating fluid to leak. This increases steering effort, and in the worst case, may result in fire.
