Service Information
Condition:
The manufacturer General Motors has decided that a defect, which relates to motor vehicle safety, exists in certain vehicles. These vehicles may have a
condition in which the windshield wiper motor may fail. These failures are the result of cracked solder joints on the controller circuit board near the
wiring harness connector. Depending on which solder joints crack or the severity of the crack, the windshield wipers could work intermittently or not at
all. If this were to occur in a severe weather situation, driver visibility could be reduced, which could result in a vehicle crash without prior warning.
Correction:
Dealers are to replace the wiper motor circuit board and cover.
Dealer Responsibility
Isuzu dealers are required to service all eligible vehicles at no charge to the owner, regardless of mileage, age of vehicle or ownership.
Whenever a vehicle subject to this campaign is in a dealer'S vehicle inventory, or arrives at the dealership for service, the dealer must take the necessary
steps to ensure that this campaign modification has been made before selling or releasing the vehicle.
Each Isuzu dealer will be supplied a copy of the AIMI Campaign Report (AWS123-1A) listing affected vehicles assigned to that dealership. The report
contains VIN and detailed owner information obtained from state motor vehicle registration records. The use of such motor vehicle registration data for
any other purpose is a violation of the law in several states. Accordingly, dealers are urged to limit the use of this listing to the follow-up necessary to
complete this campaign. If none of the affected vehicles are assigned to a dealership, no campaign report will be sent.
Owner Notification
American Isuzu Motors Inc. will send a notification letter to owners of affected vehicles already retailed (see copy shown). Dealers should follow up
with vehicle owners by sending a Campaign Reminder Notice (AIMI SVCF-1052) to all vehicle owners listed in the AIMI Campaign Report
(AWS123-1A). Dealers may obtain these postcards from their Regional Office.
Service Procedure
1.
Turn the ignition key to the OFF position.
2.
