- Suspension › RearCovers: Isuzu Amigo 1998–1999, Rodeo 1998–1999, Honda Passport 1998–1999
Reported issue: Vehicle description: sport utility vehicles. Paint was applied unevenly on the rear axles, resulting 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 loosen.

- Visibility › Sun/moon roof assemblyCovers: Isuzu Amigo 1998
Reported issue: Vehicle description: passenger vehicles equipped with a sunroof sunshade. The primer applied to prepare the surface prior to bonding the sunshade holders to the sunroof weakened the bonding strength of the adhesive, resulting in an unsatisfactory bond of the holder to the sunroof.
Possible consequence: This condition can result in separation of the holder, causing the sunshade to fall, possibly striking a vehicle occupant.
Remedy: Dealers will remove all four sunshade holders and re-bond them to the sunroof glass.

Reported issue: Vehicle description: sport utility vehicles. A ground connection terminal was not properly crimped in the supplier's engine wiring harness manufacturing line. This improper crimping process can leave an impression on the terminal that will eventually cause a stress fracture. S
Possible consequence: If a terminal is fractured, the powertrain control module (pcm) can receive an erroneous signal indicating a high vehicle speed, thereby causing the pcm to cut the fuel, causing a 'no-start' condition, or a possible engine stall.
Remedy: Dealers will replace the wiring harness on these vehicles.

Remedy: Dealers will install new right and left rear seat belt anchor bolts.
