1997 ISUZU HOMBRE -- On certain pickup trucks with certain model-engine combinations, the windshield wiper motor may fail due to cracked solder joints on the controller circuit board. The windshield wipers could work intermittently or not at all.

If this were to occur during bad weather, driver visibility would be reduced, which could result in a crash.

Dealers will replace the wiper motor circuit board and cover. Owner notification began July 14, 2003. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact Isuzu at 1-800-255-6727.

1997 ISUZU HOMBRE -- Vehicle description: Light duty passenger pickup trucks equipped with 4.3L engines. The front brake line can contact the left-hand side of the engine oil pan causing the brake line to wear to the point of brake fluid loss during brake application.

Brake fluid loss can reduce braking effectiveness and increase stopping distances resulting in a vehicle crash without prior warning.

Dealers will inspect the clearance between the oil pan and the brake line. If the clearance is 6mm or less, dealers will install an additional brake line clip and if there was contact between the oil pan and brake line, the front brake line will be replaced.
