Wheel Hub (Locking): Recalls
Recall 97V035001: Missing Hub Lock Washers & Screws

These vehicles were manufactured without a lock washer and/or screws in the front hub.

The bearing adjustment nut can loosen, resulting in too much free play between the wheel and axle. The bearing can seize, causing the wheel to lock
affecting vehicle directional control increasing the risk of a crash.

Dealers will inspect the front hubs to determine if the lock washer and screws were properly installed. If not, they will make the necessary repairs.

Owner Notification: Owner notification is expected to begin April 10, 1997.

NOTE: Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable
time should contact Isuzu of PR at 1-809-792-5858. Also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's Auto Safety Hotline at
1-800-424-9393
