Complaint history

When NHTSA received these reports. Changes in reporting alone do not establish a change in failure rates.

Problems owners report

Listed groups have at least 3 complaints. The page includes the 20 largest groups plus any additional flagged groups; some complaints are not assigned to a group.

AI groups complaints by meaning; the groups are approximate. Share ratio compares the problem’s share of this vehicle’s complaints with its share on other vehicles over the last 24 months (shown from 3 recent complaints). A 2× ratio means twice the complaint share, not twice the failure risk. Flags mark unusual shares or recent surges after an AI review of the complaint content. “First signal” does not mean the pattern has persisted continuously.How recall estimates are calculated.

• NHTSA recall #03V210000June 2, 200314,860 vehicles affected

  visibility: rear window wiper/washer: motor

  On certain pickup trucks with certain model-engine combinations, the windshield wiper motor may fail due to cracked solder joints on the controller circuit board. The windshield wipers could work intermittently or not at all.

  If this were to occur during bad weather, driver visibility would be reduced, which could result in a crash.

  Remedy

  Dealers will replace the wiper motor circuit board and cover. Owner notification began july 14, 2003. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact Isuzu at 1-800-255-6727.

• NHTSA recall #97V008002January 29, 19978 vehicles affected

  visibility: windshield

  The top coat paint severely peels due to overbaking of the powder primer prior to the top coat application. Since the windshield primer and adhesive adhere to the top coat paint onthe windshield opening flange, the windshield does not comply with federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 212, "windshield mounting."

  In the event of a vehicle crash, the windshield may not stay in place as required by FMVSS no. 212.

  Remedy

  All vehicles have been repurchased. This campaign is 100%.

• NHTSA recall #96V059001April 3, 19961,547 vehicles affected

  exterior lighting: headlights

  A brazilian domestic headlamp was inadvertently installed on these vehicles instead of the required U.S. Domestic assembly. This does not meet the requirements of FMVSS no. 108, "lamps, reflective devices, and associated equipment."

  Consequence of non-compliance: reduced lighting from these head lamps Can cause a visibility problem increasing the potential for a vehicle accident.

  Remedy

  Dealers will inspect both the left and right head lamp assemblies for presence of the aiming pads. If the head lamp assembly does note have these aiming pads, it will be replaced with the correct head lamp assembly.
