Structure: hinge and attachments Isuzu recall

The problem

Trucks used in the salt-belt states can have accumulated corrosion in the hinges of the rear doors. If the vehicles also have misaligned door latches and strikers, it is possible to close the doors in a "false latch" condition.

The risk

In the "false latch" condition, the rear doors may givethe impression that the door is properly latched when it is not. This could leadto passengers and/or cargo falling from rear doors which can open without priorwarning.

The fix

Check the door latches and strikers for correct alignment and repair if necessary; also inspect rear door hinges for corrosion and replace if necessary.
