Just got a letter in the post this morning recall to check seriel numbers on my 3.0 injectors, they were done under recall at 65000 vehicle now at 14000 with no problems.

Couple of questions wont they have a record of the seriel numbers at last recall, now that I have had the notice how long have I got to have the check done not easy at the moment as working away from home only home at weekends, IM have sent a list of dealers that they approve to do the work done none of which I used before, my local dealer not on the list I know that if the injectors need changed Izsuzu will foot the bill but can the dealer charge for the inspection.

No they will not charge to inspect them as the purpose of the recall is for them to check.

They used to replace all faulty injectors, now its only ones that are in the faulty batch(failed or not) or faulty ones under two years old under warrenty.

I've just had the recall notice too. Im guessing this is just a question of knowing the serial numbers that will need replacing, or not replacing? Is there any way we can know what that is, as I really dont want to have to run the 'Suzy' to the nearest dealer...its quite an effort, and I could just whip the rocker cover off and read off the serial numbers?

Cheers for your thoughts guys...

i.m need to know what the serial no.s are hence it has to go to a dealer,

isuzu are still doing checks on injectors for free and if they are below the cut off point they will be replaced foc, if they are above then they are left alone.

if you get a missfire and it turns out to be an injector faulty then the dealer will ask isuzu for goodwill to change them, if they were replaced over 2 years ago then it seems they don't replace them anymore and it will be down to the customer to buy an injector from a dealer. if they were done under 2 years ago then it seems they change them foc.

at the end of the day though it's down to goodwill, isuzu have been doing this for a long time now and i don't blame them for starting to wind it up

the question is, if I provide the serial numbers of the injectors to a dealer, can they tell me if they fall into the need to repair?

I have had my trooper for 3 years and thats me just getting a letter for the injector recall the letter says that they will also do any other recall work that is outstanding but my worry is this is my 3rd engine (that i have replaced) so will i still get the work done for free ?
cheers Tam

I'm sure the check will be free, and then it will depend on whether the injector serial numbers are ones that are in the range...if they are not, they wont replace them. If they are, then whatever vehicle the engine is in, they would have to replace them, so I cant see why not...but then im not from IM! Very Happy

Hi there, i recently bought a trooper R reg 3.1TD citation...after having a nosey around this site im slightly worried i may have bought something thats going to cause me future problems. Although nothing seems to be wrong with car at the moment, after reading a few posts about recalls im not sure if my car fall into this catagory ? If it does how do i go about checking if its had recall work done or if it needs to be done. Any help or general info about this type of car would be much appreciated Zoe
