• 92V093000Jul 27, 199249,300 vehicles potentially affected
  Structure › Body › Door › Hinge and attachments
  Covers: 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.
