- Structure › Body › Door › Hinge and attachmentsCovers: Isuzu Trooper 1984–1987
Reported issue: Trucks used in the salt-belt states can have accumulated corrosion in the hinges of the rear doors. If the vehicles also have misaligned door latches and strikers, it is possible to close the doors in a "false latch" condition.
Possible consequence: In the "false latch" condition, the rear doors may givethe impression that the door is properly latched when it is not. This could leadto passengers and/or cargo falling from rear doors which can open without priorwarning.
Remedy: Check the door latches and strikers for correct alignment and repair if necessary; also inspect rear door hinges for corrosion and replace if necessary.
- Visibility › Defroster/defogger/hvac systemCovers: Isuzu Trooper 1987–1988, Trooper II 1987–1988
Reported issue: Due to insufficient clearance between a bolt that fixes the heater to the vehicle body and a fuel delivery pipe and between a rear heater hose clip, use under servere conditions could cause pipe rupture and fuel leakage.
Possible consequence: This could result in a fire.
Remedy: Install new lines and a clip.
