2000–2001 Isuzu Trooper recall: engine
⚠️ What's wrong
Vehicle description: sport utility vehicles equipped with 4-WHEEL drive and automatic transmissions built with tod (torque-on-demand). In certain high speed, frontal crashes, movement of engine compartment components CAN cause the potential for fuel leakage.
💥 The risk
Fuel leakage in the presence of an ignition source could result in a fire.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will install a new, reinforced fuel hose assembly. Note: the fuel leakage issue in this recall campaign is not the same as the one addressed in their previous campaign 00V-253.
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.)
