If this campaign label is affixed on the driver's side B-pillar and the name "SIA" is shown as the dealer code, this campaign procedure is not necessary since the retrofit is already taken.
Service Information

Condition:
The holder for the sunshade has fallen off and the sunshade cannot be reattached to the sunroof.
Possible Cause:
The primer applied to prepare the surface prior to bonding weakened the bonding strength of the adhesive.
Correction:
Replace the sunroof glass (P/N 8-97211-696-0).
Dealer Responsibility
Isuzu dealers are required to service all eligible vehicles at no charge to the owner regardless of mileage age of vehicle or ownership.
Whenever a vehicle subject to this campaign is in a dealers vehicle inventory or arrives at the dealership for service the dealer must take the necessary steps to ensure that this campaign correction has been made before selling or releasing the vehicle.
Each Isuzu dealer will be supplied a copy of the AIMI Campaign Report (AWS-123-1A) listing affected vehicles assigned to that dealership. The report contains VIN and detailed owner information obtained from state motor vehicle registration records. The use of such motor vehicle registration data for any other purpose is a violation of the law in several states. Accordingly dealers are urged to limit the use of this listing to the follow-up necessary to complete this campaign.
The National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act provides that each vehicle that is subject to a recall of this type must be adequately repaired within a reasonable time after the customer has tendered it for repair. A failure to repair within sixty days after tender of a vehicle is prima facie evidence of failure to repair within a reasonable time. If the condition is not adequately repaired within a reasonable time the customer may be entitled to an identical or reasonably equivalent vehicle at no charge or to a refund of the purchase price less a reasonable allowance for depreciation. To avoid having to provide these burdensome remedies every effort must be made to repair the vehicle as soon as possible. In the recall notification lefters customers were told how to contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration if the recall is not completed within a reasonable time.

Owners of affected vehicles were notified in November of 1998 at the time of this campaign's initial release.
