ISUZU RODEO CAMPAIGN NOTICE 02I-002. THIS IS A SAFETY IMPROVEMENT CAMPAIGN DEALING WITH ABS, COIL INTEGRATED MODULE REPLACEMENT. THE EXPLANATION IS THAT WHEN APPLYING BRAKES ON A BUMPY ROAD SURFACE OR WHEN ONE SIDE OF THE ROAD IS MORE SLIPPERY THAN THE OTHER, YOU MAY ENCOUNTER EXTENDED STOPPING DISTANCES. THIS COULD LEAD TO A CRASH. IN MY CASE, THIS LED TO A MINOR CRASH WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE WHICH RESULTED IN MINOR DAMAGE TO THE FRONT BUMPER OF MY ISUZU RODEO VEHICLE. I RECEIVED THIS CAMPAIGN NOTICE AFTER THE INCIDENT. WHEN I CONTACTED ISUZU TO REQUEST REIMBURSEMENT FOR THE DAMAGE I RECEIVED I WAS TOLD THAT THEY WOULD NOT BE HELD LIABLE SINCE THIS IS ONLY AN "SAFETY IMPROVEMENT CAMPAIGN" AND NOT A SAFETY RECALL. THIS SEEMS CONTRADICTORY TO WHAT IS IMPLIED AND I WOULD LIKE TO FILE A COMPLAINT AGAINST ISUZU IN THEIR HANDLING OF THIS MATTER AND TO DOCUMENT THAT THIS IS A POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS DEFECT.

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.
