- FUEL SYSTEM, DIESEL:DELIVERY:HOSES, LINES/PIPING, AND FITTINGS
- Problem
- Isuzu Technical Center of America, Inc. (Isuzu) is recalling certain FTR and FVR trucks. The quick connector used to connect the fuel suction hose to the fuel inlet pipe of the engine is too large. The larger diameter of the quick connector may cause inadequate sealing, resulting in a fuel leak. In addition, the gap may cause air to be sucked into the fuel hose while the engine is running.
- Risk
- A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source can increase the risk of a fire. Air intake into the fuel hose increases the risk of engine stalling, increasing the risk of a crash.
- Remedy
- Dealers will replace the quick connector with the correct size quick connector, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on June 24, 2022. Owners may contact Isuzu's customer service at 1-866-441-9638. Isuzu's number for this recall is V2201.
- Notes
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
What this recall means for you
A quick connector on the fuel suction hose that links to the engine's fuel inlet pipe is too large in diameter. This can prevent it from sealing properly, which may cause a fuel leak. The oversized gap can also let air get sucked into the fuel hose while the engine is running.
A fuel leak near an ignition source can increase the risk of a fire. Air entering the fuel hose can cause the engine to stall, which increases the risk of a crash.
An authorized dealer will replace the quick connector with the correct size at no cost to you. Owners can contact Isuzu customer service at 1-866-441-9638, referencing recall V2201. You can also check your vehicle identification number (VIN) for open recalls.
