Summary: Vehicle description: sport utility vehicles. During the manufacture of certain fuel return hoses, incorrect rubber material for the outer layer was used.
Consequence: The fuel return hose does not meet ozone-resistant specifications, and could ultimately crack, causing fuel leakage. Fuel leakage in the presence of an ignition source could result in a fire.
Remedy: Dealers will inspect the vehicle to determine if the vehicle was equipped with an incorrect hose. If it is incorrect, dealers will replace it.

Has your Isuzu been repaired?

Recalls here come from NHTSA’s records for the model and year. Not every vehicle of a model is included in every recall, and this site can’t see whether a repair has been done. Only a VIN lookup can tell you that.

Check your VIN with NHTSA

NHTSA’s VIN search doesn’t show recalls that were already repaired, recalls more than 15 years old, or some small manufacturers’ recalls. A Isuzu dealer can also check your VIN. Recall repairs are free.
