2021-22 Isuzu RJ MU-X: potential loss of steering

In March 2023, recall campaign S202301 was issued for 2021-22 Isuzu MU-X vehicles. Due to a manufacturing issue, the lower steering shaft attaching bolt may have a torque value lower than the required specification. As a result, the lower steering shaft attaching bolt may lose tension over time, causing it to dislodge. If this occurred while the vehicle was being driven, it would cause a loss of steering – this increased the risks of a collision and injury for the driver, occupants and other road users. For the VINs of the recalled vehicles, please see REC-005647.
