1999 ISUZU RODEO — SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP

ISUZU RODEO CAMPAIGN NOTICE 02I-002. THIS IS A SAFETY IMPROVEMENT CAMPAIGN DEALING WITH ABS, COIL INTEGRATED MODULE REPLACEMENT. THE EXPLANATION IS THAT WHEN APPLYING BRAKES ON A BUMPY ROAD SURFACE OR WHEN ONE SIDE OF THE ROAD IS MORE SLIPPERY THAN THE OTHER, YOU MAY ENCOUNTER EXTENDED STOPPING DISTANCES. THIS COULD LEAD TO A CRASH. IN MY CASE, THIS LED TO A MINOR CRASH WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE WHICH RESULTED IN MINOR DAMAGE TO THE FRONT BUMPER OF MY ISUZU RODEO VEHICLE. I RECEIVED THIS CAMPAIGN NOTICE AFTER THE INCIDENT. WHEN I CONTACTED ISUZU TO REQUEST REIMBURSEMENT FOR THE DAMAGE I RECEIVED I WAS TOLD THAT THEY WOULD NOT BE HELD LIABLE SINCE THIS IS ONLY AN "SAFETY IMPROVEMENT CAMPAIGN" AND NOT A SAFETY RECALL. THIS SEEMS CONTRADICTORY TO WHAT IS IMPLIED AND I WOULD LIKE TO FILE A COMPLAINT AGAINST ISUZU IN THEIR HANDLING OF THIS MATTER AND TO DOCUMENT THAT THIS IS A POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS DEFECT.
