Car Forum / Isuzu Cars / March 2004Trooper recalls
Hi, just wondering for what reasons Isuzu had recalled their cars for post production mods. I understand that in America there has been recalls for the 4JX1 injectors, and also to replace the fuel line, as it failed in crash tests. As I am aware, none have been recalled here in the UK. Are there any other recalls that the British are not aware of? > I understand that in America there has been recalls for the 4JX1 injectors You amaze me. I didn't know the diesel was imported into USA. Are you sure about that? Chee I think I need to rephrase the question! What recalls have there been for the Trooper and which country do they apply. I thought I would write to Isuzu. They informed me that my 1999 LWD TD Citation should have had "Two campaign services, one for injector sleeve replacement, and a turbo change". What they did not tell me, should I pay for it? Have other owners been informed of this. What was the problem with the turbo? > I thought I would write to Isuzu.

I'm going to try my luck with the dealer today, hold thumbs..  Signaturemadiba > > I thought I would write to Isuzu.

A "campaign service" sounds like something you pay for. > > What they did not tell me, should I pay for it?

Wasn't that only if it failed in the warranty period? Please let us know what happens. Cheers Andrew Kay > > > I thought I would write to Isuzu.

Please let us know > what happens. They hummed and hawed, said they'd look into it. Got a call back saying mine had been recalled in 2000 and the work done! I don't remember this being done but I need to go into my records to know for sure.. Anyway, it still starts badly so they checked it and said it needed new plugs. The clumbsy oafs from Opel managed to snap the back plug off when they removed them! So at the moment the whole engine has to be taken apart to try and drill the plug out from the inside. A right proper f*ckup if you ask me.. The moment I heard it was not a warranty job I should have picked up my Trooper and got it checked by someone that has a clue about diesels. Signaturemadiba The so called "Service Campaigns" that Isuzu were doing were done on a routine service. They were not "recalls" as that would imply that the repairs were of a serious nature, and without them the car would be dangerous. If you contact Isuzu by telephone and ask for "Isuzu Customer Service" 01215572112 and give them your registration number, they can check on their records to see if the repairs were carried out. They are service campaigns IZ04 and IZ06, it includes a Turbo replacement, injector sleeves and an oil strainer, and they are all free of charge! I spoke to Adrian Hogg at Customer Services, and he was great. Hope this helps you Michael > The so called "Service Campaigns" that Isuzu were doing were done on a > routine service.

I phoned Isuzu Customer Service on the number you gave & spoke to Steve Gledhill. He says that there are three relevant repairs. These are: IZ03: Replacement injector sleeves IZ04: Replacement turbo & oil strainer IZ06: Fitting injector sleeve backup O-ring. In my case, it is complicated by the fact that I am not the original owner of the Trooper. It previously had a personalised number plate which the original owner took with him to his new vehicle - also an Isuzu Trooper - and they found both vehicles on their database. Mine has already had IZ03 done but needs IZ04 & IZ06 doing. I can confirm that I also was told that these repairs are all free of charge, which is nice!! Steve said that sometimes dealers do the repair without telling the owner. I guess it's going to be worth anyone who owns a Trooper with this engine getting it checked out. Thanks again - now I know why I bother reading newsgroups. :-) Cheers Andrew Kay IZ06 is no longer being carried out as the replacement injector sleeves incorporate the seals. The back up seal originally fitted, was not a success, this is why the sleeves are being replaced now. > The so called "Service Campaigns" that Isuzu were doing were done on a > routine service.

How easy is it do ? I would have thought that there is every point, if it is done by an Isuzu dealer free of charge!! Cheers Andrew Kay > David > [quoted text clipped - 21 lines] > > > > > > Michael The modification is only for a certain VIN range and is only for Euro II engines (pre 2002 model year). There is a special tool required to do the replacement and is not advisable to be carried out outside of the Isuzu network as these engines have a mind of their own at the best of times. > > I do not believe my 98 Trooper has had the modification.
