Service bulletin IB17-L-001A
A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it. The summary is NHTSA's. The document is the manufacturer's: read it at NHTSA. A bulletin is not a recall, and listing a model year does not mean every vehicle of it is concerned.

NHTSA's summary
During refueling, it is possible for water (and other contaminants) to be pumped into the fuel tank along with the diesel fuel. This can occur if a service station does not regularly inspect and clean its fuel tanks, or if a service station receives contaminated fuel from its supplier(s). Protect your customer?s engine from contaminated fuel by recommending regular fuel system inspection and maintenance. This will ensure continued performance of the Isuzu Diesel engine and provide the earliest detection of diesel fuel contamination. Maintenance is the customer?s responsibility. Discovering and correcting a contaminated diesel fuel issue early on can substantially reduce the likelihood of damage to fuel system components. Damage to fuel systems, including to both low and high pressure components, often results from fuel contamination. Fuel contamination can be defined as the presence of water, rust, algae, bacteria, poor quality fuel, or any other substance other than ultra-low sulfur fuel in the fuel system. Operating a vehicle?s diesel engine on fuels and additives that do not meet the vehicle manufacturer?s specifications for lubrication and cooling, or that have improper anti-corrosion properties, can cause drivability problems as well as component damage or even failure.
