Isuzu Ute Australia has issued a recall of 149,049 examples of its 2020-2024 D-Max and MU-X.
The recall cites a potential issue with the Engine Control Module (ECM) which may incorrectly reduce the engine speed. This could cause the engine to stall, resulting in a loss of motive power.
The recall states that, “A loss of motive power whilst driving could increase the risk of an accident causing injury or death to vehicle occupants and/or other road users.”
Isuzu Ute Australia has stated they will contact affected vehicle owners in writing, requesting they make an appointment with their nearest dealer to have the ECM inspected and updated, free of charge.
Owners after more information can contact Isuzu Ute Australia’s customer relations department by emailing info@iua.net.au or calling 1300 147 898
