2003 Isuzu Ascender recall: windows, wipers & mirrors
⚠️ What's wrong
Certain sport utility vehicles have windshield wiper systems that will not turn on, cease operation while in use, fail to turn off/on by themselves (moisture sensitive wiper system), or have continuous windshield washer pump operation because the presence of water within the wiper modules CAN either cause a short circuit or CAN lead to the corrosion of components within the module.
💥 The risk
Depending on the occurrence and weather situation, driver visibility could be reduced, which could result in a crash.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will repair the windshield wiper system assembly. The recall began on july 15, 2004. Owners should contact isuzu at 1-800-255-6727.
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.)
