2001 Isuzu Rodeo & 2001 Isuzu Rodeo Sport recall: fuel system
⚠️ What's wrong
Vehicle description: Sport utility vehicles. During the manufacture of certain fuel return hoses, incorrect rubber material for the outer layer was used.
💥 The risk
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.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will inspect the vehicle to determine if the vehicle was equipped with an incorrect hose. If it is incorrect, dealers will replace it.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
