05 July 2005 - Holden Frontera and Isuzu Wizard steering rack mounting bracket

Description of Problem:
Holden is aware of a possible misalignment condition within the steering system. Should this misalignment not be corrected, the steering gear coupling bolts may loosen and cause damage to the coupling. Continuous driving of the vehicle in this condition may result in a loss of steering control.

Rectification:
A Holden service technician will inspect the vehicle to determine whether the steering rack mounting bracket is correctly located on the cross member via a checking procedure. If replacement parts are required the service technician will fit them free of charge to the customer.

Vehicle Range:
Frontera model years 1998 to 2002. The production serial number is the last seven digits of the VIN (eg 4S2UES25FX4100001).

The VIN number is stamped onto a plate located on the radiator support panel behind the driver�s side headlight in the engine compartment.

Vehicles requiring the rework are within the following VIN ranges:

VIN Number from - to (Inclusive)
