Isuzu Rodeo: Suspension

Affects Isuzu Rodeo · 1998–1999 — about 2K vehicles.

The hazard

On certain vehicles, paint may have been applied unevenly on the rear axles. In cases where the paint was too thick, the allotted drying time may have resulted in insufficient paint hardness. Should this occur on the surface that contacts the rear axle lower link bracket bolt head and/or nut, the nut may later loosen. If the nut should detach fully separation of the lower link from the rear axle could occur. This may result in loss of vehicle control and a possible crash. Correction: Dealers will remove the rear axle lower trailing link nuts and bolts and replace them with new self-lock nuts and bolts.
