Several Isuzu mu-X, D-Max models recalled for steering shaft issue

Several Isuzu mu-X, D-Max models recalled for steering shaft issue

MANILA: Several mu-X and D-Max models have steering shaft problems, and Isuzu Philippines Corporation (IPC) has announced that it is running a Special Service Campaign to address the problems.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • How many Isuzu D-Max and mu-X units are affected in the recall?

    A total of 2,273 vehicles, or 1,579 for the mu-X and 694 for the D-Max, were produced between 2020 and October 2022 and are included in the recall.
  • What is the steering shaft issue found in the Isuzu vehicles?

    The lower second steering shaft bolt of the affected vehicles may have been tightened less tightly than the recommended torque rating, according to the company. Isuzu claims that given the country's poor road conditions, it can become looser with time.
  • How will Isuzu Philippines Corp. rectify the affected units?

    Affected buyers will be asked to give approved IPC dealers a short window of time to evaluate their cars. Both the inspection and the repair are free of charge.

Isuzu claims that given the country's poor road conditions, it can become looser with time. As a preventative measure, Isuzu Philippines has taken the initiative to examine and re-tighten the aforementioned steering shaft bolt to meet the acceptable torque value.

    Isuzu will send registered mail to all impacted owners to inform them. To let customers know about the problem, the service campaign will also be publicized around the country. The recall does not, however, include all mu-X and D-Max models.

    Recently refreshed, the 2023 Isuzu D-Max and Isuzu mu-X both earned a five-star safety rating from the ASEAN NCAP. The two models come standard with Advanced Driver Assist System (ADAS) with Smart Duo Cam, Blind Spot Monitoring, Forward Collision Warning, Lane Departure Warning, Turn Assist, and Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop and Go Functionality. These features guarantee that every ride on the Isuzu D-Max and Isuzu mu-X is safer and more convenient.
