Recall 00V376000: Potential Fuel Hose Leak

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.

Fuel leakage in the presence of an ignition source could result in a fire.

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.

Owner notification is expected to begin during November 2000. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact Isuzu 1-800-643-7070, ext. 343. Also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's Auto Safety Hotline at 1-888-DASH-2-DOT (1-888-327-4236).
