Isuzu Rodeo Recalls
Summary
Certain vehicles operated in areas of heavy road de-icing material usage (Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, and Newfoundland & Labrador) may experience excessive corrosion in the vicinity of the left or right forward mounting point bracket for the rear suspension lower link, prior to the time that such corrosion would normally be expected. In certain cases, excessive corrosion in this vicinity may result in the left or right rear suspension lower link bracket becoming detached from the frame, which can affect vehicle handling and potentially cause a crash resulting in property damage or personal injury. Correction: Inspection and repairs will be provided free of charge for vehicles that are ten years old or less. For vehicles over ten years old, GM of Canada will offer the same free remedy, but only if the vehicle is presented to a GM dealer no later than twelve (12) months after the owner notification letter mailing date.
Summary
Certain vehicles fail to conform to CMVSS 135 "Passenger Car Brake System". The brake warning lamp may not illuminate in the event of decreased brake fluid level. Correction: Dealer will replace the current brake fluid warning circuit diode with a newly designed diode.
Summary
On certain vehicles, a fuel return hose may not contain the desired ozone protection which could result in the hose having a reduced life expectancy. Over time, the hose may deteriorate and leak fuel. Correction: Dealers will inspect the fuel return hose date code and replace the hose if required.
Summary
On certain vehicles, paint may have been applied unevenly on the rear axles. In cases where the paint was too thick, the allotted drying time may have resulted in insufficient paint hardness. Should this occur on the surface that contacts the rear axle lower link bracket bolt head and/or nut, the nut may later loosen. If the nut should detach fully separation of the lower link from the rear axle could occur. This may result in loss of vehicle control and a possible crash. Correction: Dealers will remove the rear axle lower trailing link nuts and bolts and replace them with new self-lock nuts and bolts.
Summary
Certain V6 Rodeo do not comply with the requirements of CMVSS 1105 - Evaporative Emissions. The rubber purge hose of the Enhanced Evaporative Emission Control System (EVAP) may crack, due to proximity of the exhaust pipe. Correction: Dealers will install an EVAP pipe and hose assembly using a clearance template, and will inspect routing clearances after installation.
Summary
On certain vehicles, the engine wire harness ground connection terminal may fracture due to improper crimping. In a case where the terminal is fractured, the powertrain control module (PCM) may misinterpret the damage as a signal indicating a high vehicle speed. The PCM will then cut the fuel causing a "no-start" condition or an engine stall. Correction: Wire harness will be replaced with a new harness.
Summary
THE VOLTAGE REGULATOR MAY CONTAIN MANUFACTURING ERRORS IN AN INTEGRATED CIRCUIT. THIS MAY CAUSE EXCESSIVE ELECTRICAL CHARGING OF THE ALTERNATOR (OVERCHARGE), RESULTING IN ENGINE CONTROL MALFUNCTION, AND/OR IN THE WORST CASE, EVENTUAL ENGINE STALL. THE POSSIBLE CAUSE OF THIS CONDITION IS A FAULTY IC REGULATOR IN THE ALTERNATOR. CORRECTION: IC REGULATOR WILL BE REPLACED WITH A NEW IC REGULATOR. WHEN REPAIRS ARE COMPLETED, A PERFORMANCE CHECK WILL BE DONE TO VERIFY PROPER FUNCTIONING OF THE CHARGING INDICATOR LIGHT AND PROPER BATTERY VOLTAGE OUTPUT.
Summary
VEHICLES MAY EXHIBIT A CONDITION IN WHICH THERE IS THE POSSIBILITY OF PARTIAL ENGAGEMENT OF THE LATCH PLATE INTO THE TYPE-521 MODEL SEAT BELT BUCKLE (FALSE LATCH). THIS COULD RESULT IN FAILURE OF THE SEAT BELT SYSTEM TO PROVIDE PROPER OCCUPANT RESTRAINT IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH OR SUDDEN STOP. CORRECTION: BELT BUCKLES WILL BE INSPECTED FOR THE AFFECTED LOT NUMBERS AND REPLACED IF NECESSARY.
Summary
THE (Takata) ABS PLASTIC FRONT SEAT BELT RELEASE BUTTONS ON THESE VEHICLES MAY BREAK ALLOWING PLASTIC PIECES TO FALL INTO THE BUCKLE ASSEMBLY. IF THIS SHOULD HAPPEN, A NO LATCH, FALSE LATCH OR FAILURE TO UNLATCH CONDITION COULD OCCUR CREATING THE RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH OR SUDDEN STOP. CORRECTION: FRONT SEAT BELT BUCKLES WILL BE REPAIRED OR REPLACED AS NECESSARY.
Summary
VEHICLES WITH 3.2 LITRE ENGINES MAY EXPERIENCE DISLODGING OF THE CAMSHAFT END PLUG(S) FROM THE CYLINDER HEADS CAUSING RAPID OIL LOSS. OIL SPILLING ON THE EXHAUST SYSTEM COULD RESULT IN AN ENGINE COMPARTMENT FIRE. CORRECTION: A CAMSHAFT END PLUG RETAINING PLATE KIT WILL BE INSTALLED ON AFFECTED VEHICLES.
