2003–2004 Chevrolet W3500 & 2003–2004 Chevrolet W4500 + 6 more recall: fuel system
⚠️ What's wrong
On certain trucks equipped with rpo IK9, due to insufficient durability and testing, the fuel switching manifold solenoids lack water or salt intrusion resistance, which CAN lead to failure of one or more solenoids. Fuel switching manifold solenoid failure will cause incorrect fuel delivery resulting in fuel overflow from the fuel filler neck.
💥 The risk
Overflow fuel may result in high amount of diesel fuel leakage. Fuel leakage, in the presence of an ignition source, could result in a fire.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will replace the solenoid valve assembly with an improved assembly including additional detection circuit and enhanced water resistance free of charge. The recall began on october 27, 2005. Owners may 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.)
