Isuzu Trooper Recalls
Summary
On certain vehicles, after approximately nine or more years of use, the accelerator cable cover in the subject vehicles may deteriorate causing the cable rubber boot to adhere to the inner throttle cable. This can cause the accelerator cable to delay RPM and vehicle speed reduction for several seconds after the accelerator pedal is released, which, in turn, can lead to a crash. Correction: Dealer will replace the throttle cable rubber boot.
Summary
On certain vehicles equipped with 4WD and torque-on-demand automatic transmission, in certain high speed frontal crashes, relative movement and abrasion of internal components can cause the potential for fuel leakage due to separation of the fuel hose and fuel line or a severed fuel hose. Correction: Dealers will install a revised fuel hose.
Summary
On certain vehicles, the front and rear output flange lock nuts of the Torque-On-Demand (TOD) 4WD system transfer case might not be staked. In such cases there is the possibility that the lock nut may loosen, resulting in separation of the propeller shaft. Correction: Front and rear lock nuts of the TOD transfer case will be inspected for staking, tightened and, if necessary, the lock nut will be replaced.
Summary
VEHICLES MAY HAVE BEEN MANUFACTURED WITH INSUFFICIENT CLEARANCE BETWEEN THE LEFT FRONT BRAKE LINE AND THE UPPER CONTROL ARM OF THE SUSPENSION. THIS LINE COULD BECOME DAMAGED DURING VEHICLE OPERATION AND COULD RESULT IN BRAKE FLUID LEAKAGE, REDUCED BRAKING EFFECTIVENESS AND INCREASED STOPPING DISTANCES. CORRECTION: DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE CLEARANCE BETWEEN THE BRAKE LINE AND THE UPPER CONTROL ARM AND IF THE CLEARANCE IS NOT ACCORDING TO SPECIFICATION, THE BRAKE LINE WILL BE REPLACED.
Summary
THESE VEHICLES MAY HAVE BEEN MANUFACTURED WITHOUT A LOCK WASHER AND/OR SCREWS (3 PCS./WHEEL) FOR THE LOCK WASHER OF THE FRONT HUB BEARING ADJUSTMENT NUT. THIS CONDITION MAY RESULT IN LOOSENING BETWEEN THE HUB AND THE KNUCKLE, POSSIBLY RESULTING IN BEARING SEIZURE. CORRECTION: DEALERS WILL INSPECT AND ENSURE THAT THE LOCK WASHERS AND SCREWS ARE SECURELY TIGHTENED.
Summary
THESE VEHICLES MAY HAVE BEEN MANUFACTURED WITH AN INCORRECT REAR CENTER SEAT BELT BUCKLE. THIS BUCKLE WILL NOT ACCOMMODATE THE REAR CENTER SEAT BELT LATCH PLATE WHEN AN ATTEMPT IS MADE TO INSERT THE LATCH PLATE INTO THE BUCKLE. CORRECTION: VEHICLES WILL BE INSPECTED AND IF THE BUCKLE IS NOT THE CORRECT TYPE, THE REAR CENTER LEFT SEAT BELT BUCKLE ASSEMBLY WILL BE REPLACED WITH A NEW ASSEMBLY.
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.
Summary
NOTE: VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH V6 ENGINE AND AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION DIPSTICK MUST BE PROPERLY REINSTALLED AFTER CHECKING THE FLUID LEVEL. IF THE DIPSTICK IS NOT LOCKED, LEAKING AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FLUID MAY CONTACT THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD AND RESULT IN AN ENGINE COMPARTMENT FIRE. CORRECTION: A WARNING TAG WILL BE INSTALLED TO THE DIPSTICK CAP TO SERVE AS A REMINDER TO ALWAYS LOCK THE DIPSTICK AFTER CHECKING THE FLUID LEVEL AND NOT TO OVERFILL WITH AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FLUID.
Summary
CORROSION OF THE TAILGATE HINGE PINS COULD, UNDER CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES, RESULT IN A "FALSE LATCH" CONDITION. THIS WOULD GIVE THE IMPRESSION THAT THE DOOR IS CLOSED WHEN IT IS NOT AND COULD LEAD TO PASSENGERS AND/OR CARGO FALLING OUT THE TAILGATE DOORS WHICH CAN OPEN WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING. CORRECTION: TAILGATE DOOR LATCHES AND STRIKERS WILL BE INSPECTED FOR CORRECT ALIGNMENT AND REPAIRED IF NECESSARY; ALSO, THE TAILGATE DOOR HINGES WILL BE INSPECTED FOR CORROSION AND REPAIRED OR REPLACED AS NECESSARY.
