ISUZU I MARK Recalls
Item Affected: FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY
Date Announced: 03/28/1988
Description of Recall: PERFORATION OF THE FUEL TANK OR ATTACHED FUEL FEED PIPE DUE TO CORROSION OF THE TANK OR FUEL FEED PIPE MATERIALS.
Conequence: THIS CONDITION COULD ALLOW FUEL TO LEAK FROM THE FUELTANK AND ULTIMATELY RESULT IN A FIRE WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING. SUCH A FIRE COULDSPREAD TO THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT.
Action Need To Fix It: REPLACE GAS TANK WITH NEW CORROSION RESISTANT TANK.
Notes: SYSTEM: FUEL TANK OR FUEL FEED PIPE.VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: PASSENGER CARS.
Item Affected: ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
Date Announced: 03/28/1988
Description of Recall: THE POSITIVE CRANKCASE VENTILATION VALVE MAY PROVIDE INADEQUATE AIR FLOW UNDER LOW ENGINE LOAD CONDITIONS.
Conequence: THIS CONDITION CAN ALLOW WATER/OIL MIXTURE TO BUILD UPIN THE HOSE FROM THE OIL SEPARATOR TO THE AIR INLET DUCT. AFTER THE ENGINE ISSTOPPED, THIS WATER/OIL MIXTURE CAN, UNDER COLD WEATHER CONDITIONS, FREEZE ANDCOMPLETELY BLOCK THE OIL SEPARATOR AIR DUCT HOSE. THIS BLOCKAGE WILL RESULT ININCREASED PRESSURE WITHIN THE CRANKCASE. THIS CAN CAUSE OIL LEAKS. IF ASUFFICIENT QUANTITY OF OIL CAME IN CONTACT WITH THE HOT EXHAUST SYSTEM AN ENGINECOMPARTMENT FIRE COULD RESULT WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING.
Action Need To Fix It: THE PCV VALVE WILL BE REPLACED WITH A NEW VALVE.

Item Affected: FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:FUEL PUMP
Date Announced: 05/27/1987
Description of Recall: VEHICLE MAY EXPERIENCE PERFORATION OF THE FUEL PUMP DIAPHRAGM. EXCESSIVE ALCOHOL CONTENT IN THE FUEL PROMOTES DEGRADATION OF THE DIAPHRAGM COATING RESULTING IN RADIAL CRACKING OF THE DIAPHRAGM.
Conequence: A PERFORATED DIAPHRAGM CAN ALLOW FUEL TO LEAK FROM THEFUEL PUMP INTO THE UNDERHOOD AREA. THIS COULD ULTIMATELY RESULT IN ANUNDERHOOD FIRE WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING. SUCH A FIRE COULD SPREAD TO THEPASSENGER COMPARTMENT.
Action Need To Fix It: A FUEL VENTALATION HOSE KIT WILL BE INSTALLED TO PREVENT FUEL FROM ESCAPING INTO THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT IF THE FUEL PUMP DIAPHRAGM LEAKS AND THEREBY REDUCE THE POSSIBILITY OF AN UNDERHOOD FIRE.

Item Affected: STEERING:COLUMN
Date Announced: 04/29/1983
Description of Recall: THE TILT STEERING WHEEL LOCK MECHANISM THAT HOLDS THE STEERING WHEEL IN PLACE MAY BREAK. FAILURE OF THE LOCKING MECHANISM WOULD ALLOW THE STEERING WHEEL TO TILT, UNRESTRAINED. THE WHEEL MAY TRAVEL TO THE HIGH OR LOW POSITION.
Conequence:
Action Need To Fix It: THE DEALER WILL REPLACE THE STEERING TILT LOCKING PIN WITH A NEW PIN AT NO CHARGE.
Notes: VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: PASSENGER VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH A TILT STEERING WHEEL.SYSTEM: STEERING; TILT STEERING LOCK PIN.CONSEQUENCES OF DEFECT: IF THE LOCKING PIN BREAKS, ALLOWING THE STEERING WHEELTO TILT UNRESTRAINED, STEERING CAN BE AWKWARD. IF THE FAILURE OCCURS WHILE THEVEHICLE IS IN MOTION, THE DRIVER MAY LOSE CONTROL AND AN ACCIDENT COULD RESULT.NOTE: UNTIL THE VEHICLE IS REPAIRED, THE FOLLOWING PRECAUTIONS SHOULD BEOBSERVED: DO NOT EXERT UPWARD OR DOWNWARD PRESSURE ON THE STEERING WHEEL;SHOULD THE FAILURE OCCUR WHILE DRIVING, MOVE THE STEERING WHEEL ALL THE WAY UPOR DOWN AND STEER CAREFULLY TO A SAFE AREA BESIDE THE ROAD.
