The problem
Isuzu is recalling certain model year 2012 n-series trucks equipped with gasoline engines, manufactured from april 27, 2011, through july 26, 2011. Due to a calibration error in the ecm software, in the event of a failure or malfunction of the brake pedal switch, application of the brake pedal will not cause the cruise control to be canceled.
The risk
THIS CONDITION COULD RESULT IN A VEHICLE CRASH.
The fix
Isuzu will notify owners, and dealers will reprogram the ecm software free of charge. The safety recall began on september 2, 2011. Owners may contact isuzu at 1-866-455-7595.
