Remedy: 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.

Consequence: Consequence of non-compliance: reduced lighting from these head lamps can cause a visibility problem increasing the potential for a vehicle accident.
