Owner Letter
DEAR ISUZU/HOMBRE OWNER:
WHAT IS THE CONDITION?
The front brake pipe may contact the left front corner of the engine oil pan. This front brake pipe supplies brake fluid to the right front brake. This
contact could cause the front brake pipe to wear to the point of brake fluid loss when the brakes are applied. If this occurs, brake fluid loss could reduce
braking effectiveness and increase stopping distances. Partial loss of braking, at a time when minimum stopping distance is required, could result in a
vehicle crash without prior warning.
WHAT WE WILL DO
To prevent this condition from occurring, your Isuzu dealer will inspect your vehicle's front brake pipe for proper clearance with the left front corner of
the engine oil pan. If the front brake pipe does not have the proper clearance, but shows no signs of contact with the engine oil pan, an additional brake
pipe retaining clip will be installed. If the front brake pipe shows signs of contact with the engine oil pan, the front brake pipe will be replaced with a
new one and the additional brake pipe retaining clip will also be installed. This service will be performed for you at no charge.
WHAT YOU SHOULD DO
Please contact your Isuzu dealer as soon as possible to arrange a service date. Instructions for making this correction have been sent to your Isuzu dealer.
Please ask your dealer if you wish to know how much time will be needed to schedule and process your vehicle. Presentation of this letter to your dealer
will assist in making the necessary correction in the shortest possible time. Please have your dealer refer to Campaign Bulletin SB97-09-L004. If you
have sold or traded your vehicle, please let us know by completing the postage paid reply card and returning it to us.
