SERVICE INFORMATION
Condition:
On some affected vehicles, the engine wire harness ground connection terminal may fracture due to improper crimping. In a case where the terminal is
fractured, the powertrain control module (PCM) may misinterpret it as a signal indicating a high vehicle speed. The PCM will then cut the fuel causing a
"no-start" condition or an engine stall.
Correction:
To prevent this condition from occurring, Isuzu dealers will replace the existing wire harness with a new harness (Part Number 8-97211-283-0).
DEALER RESPONSIBILITY
Isuzu dealers must service all affected vehicles at no charge to the owner, regardless of mileage, age of vehicle, or ownership.
Whenever a vehicle subject to this campaign is in a dealer's vehicle inventory, or arrives at a dealership for service, the dealer must take the necessary
steps to ensure that this campaign correction has been made before selling or releasing the vehicle.
All unsold new vehicles in dealer's possession and subject to this campaign must be held and repaired per the service procedure in this Campaign
Bulletin before customers take possession of their vehicles.
OWNER NOTIFICATION
American Isuzu Motors Inc. (AIMI) will send a notification letter to owners of affected vehicles already retailed (See Enclosed Copy). Dealers should
follow up with vehicle owners by sending a Campaign Reminder Notice (AIMI SVCF-1052) to all vehicle owners listed in the AIMI Campaign Report
AWS 123-1A. Dealers may obtain these postcards from their Regional Office.
