WE HAD A SERIOUS SAFETY EVENT WITH A 1999 ISUZU RODEO. I WAS TRYING TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE UP SERVICE RAMPS TO CHANGE THE OIL. TO GO UP THE RAMP, I PRESSED THE BRAKE WITH MY LEFT FOOT WHILE GIVING A LITTLE GAS WITH THE RIGHT. THIS IS THE SAME TECHNIQUE I HAVE BEEN USING, ON THE SAME RAMPS FOR AT LEAST 15 YEARS, WITH SEVERAL OTHER VEHICLES. (TWO OTHER VEHICLES I ROUTINELY SERVICE ALSO HAVE ABS BRAKING SYSTEMS). ON THIS OCCASION, THE VEHICLE SHOT FORWARD. AS BEST AS I CAN DETERMINE, THE FRONT BRAKES LOCKED UP WHILE THE BACK WHEELS DID NOT. I GOT THE ABS EFFECT ON THE PEDAL, WHILE THE VEHICLE SHOT FORWARD, COLLAPSING THE RAMPS AND SLIDING ON THEM 20 FEET BEFORE I COULD GET THE VEHICLE TO STOP. THE ACTIONS I PERFORMED ARE EXACTLY THE SAME AS I WOULD USE TRYING TO POSITION THE VEHICLE WHILE GOING UP A STEEP HILL. I AM A AT A LOSS TO UNDERSTAND EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED EXCEPT THAT PRESSING THE BRAKE HARDER DID NOT WORK. I WAS NOT ABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE UNTIL I TOOK THE TRANSMISSION OUT OF GEAR. APPARENTLY, ONCE THE FRONT WHEELS STOPPED TURNING, WHILE THE REAR WERE ROLLING, THE ABS SYSTEM PREVENTED THE BRAKES FROM STOPPING THE REAR WHEELS. (WHEN THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTED TO NEUTRAL, THE FORWARD DRIVE STOPPED, BUT THE ENGINE DID NOT RACE INDICATING THAT I WAS NOT PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR). FORTUNATELY, THERE WAS NO CAR COMING DOWN THE STREET, AND I WAS ABLE TO GET IT TO STOP BEFORE WE HIT THE CAR ACROSS THE STREET. *LA

VEHICLES THAT HAVE EXPERIENCED SUSTAINED EXPOSURE TO HIGHLY CORROSIVE MATERIALS USED IN SOME JURISDICTIONS FOR ROAD DEICING PURPOSES MAY EXPERIENCE EXCESSIVE CORROSION IN THE VICINITY OF THE FORWARD MOUNTING POINT BRACKET FOR THE LEFT OR RIGHT REAR SUSPENSION LOWER LINK PRIOR TO THE TIME THAT SUCH CORROSION WOULD NORMALLY BE EXPECTED.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: EXCESSIVE CORROSION 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.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE REAR SUSPENSION LOWER LINK BRACKET AREA. FOR VEHICLES IN WHICH LITTLE OR NO CORROSION IS FOUND, THE AREA WILL BE TREATED WITH AN ANTI-CORROSIVE COMPOUND. FOR VEHICLES IN WHICH CORROSION HAS DAMAGED THE REAR SUSPENSION LOWER LINK BRACKET AND AFFECTED ITS CONNECTION TO THE VEHICLE FRAME, A REINFORCEMENT BRACKET WILL BE INSTALLED. IN THE RARE EVENT THE CORROSION IS SO SEVERE THAT THE REINFORCEMENT BRACKET REMEDY WOULD NOT BE APPROPRIATE, A REPURCHASE OFFER WILL BE EXTENDED TO THE VEHICLE'S OWNER. ALL INSPECTIONS AND REMEDIES WILL BE PROVIDED FREE OF CHARGE FOR VEHICLES THAT ARE 10 YEARS OLD OR LESS. FOR VEHICLES OLDER THAN 10 YEARS, ISUZU WILL OFFER A FREE REMEDY, BUT ONLY IF THE VEHICLE IS PRESENTED TO AN ISUZU SERVICE FACILITY, OR HONDA DEALER (AS APPLICABLE), DEALER WITHIN 12 MONTHS OF WHEN OWNER NOTIFICATIONS WERE ISSUED.

On September 22, 2010, Isuzu Manufacturing Services of America, Inc (Isuzu) submitted a Defect Information Report (NHTSA Recall 10V-436) to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration affecting approximately 120,000 model year (MY) 1998-2002 Isuzu Rodeo and Honda Passport vehicles and MY 2002 Isuzu Axiom vehicles originally sold, or currently operated, in the following states:Connecticut, Delaware, the District of Columbia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, West Virginia and Wisconsin. All vehicle owners will receive the recall notification.Vehicles 10 years of age or younger will be provided with a free remedy.For vehicles older than 10 years, Isuzu will offer a free remedy provided the vehicle is presented to an Isuzu service facility or a Honda dealer (as applicable) no later than twelve (12) months after the date of mailing of the notification letter to the owner.The report describes a condition where vehicles operated in states using certain road deicing materials may exhibit excessive corrosion which may result in the left or right rear suspension lower link bracket becoming detached from the frame.According to Isuzu a detached lower link may affect vehicle handling and potentially cause a crash.The Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) analyzed complaint data and found that 114 of the 115 (99%) alleged complete lower link separations from the frame occurred in vehicles originally sold or operated in a state covered by the recall. Of these complaints 2 involved alleged crashes and 21 involved alleged loss of control incidents.The alleged crashes and loss of control incidents all occurred in vehicles operated in a state covered by the safety recall.Isuzu's recall instructs dealers to inspect the rear suspension lower link bracket area to determine if corrosion is present.For vehicles in which corrosion has damaged the lower link bracket area and affected its connection to the vehicle frame, a reinforcement bracket will be installed.For vehicles with no visible signs of corrosion, dealers with apply anti-corrosion material to reduce the likelihood of corrosion developing in the future. Based on Isuzu's safety recall, this Engineering Analysis is closed.A copy of the recall may be assessed on NHTSA's website using the reference number above.
