Takata Airbag Recall

[Mile High VX]

Has anyone heard if any Isuzu vehicles are involved.

I found one, but it was made by Nissan and sold by Isuzu in Japan.

But a heck of a lot of other cars

This is the Isuzu reference that I found:

Nissan is to recall Cube and eight other models, and Mazda two, including Atenza. Como, built by Nissan and sold by Isuzu, will also be recalled.

Also found this on the Rodeo:

2001 ISUZU RODEO RECALL - #02V213000
RECALL FOR AIR BAGS : FRONTAL

ON CERTAIN SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES, THE PASSENGER-SIDE AIR BAG INFLATOR MODULES WERE MANUFACTURED AND SHIPPED WITHOUT A NECESSARY COMPONENT KNOWN AS A CHECK VALVE PIN.

International Business News was the link I attached they are generally a pretty good source.

I did a Yahoo search for "takata recall isuzu" and got some results.

One of the articles said the recalls started in 2001 with Isuzu, so I searched 2001 Isuzu recalls and found the one for the airbag.

It looks like that's a different failure mode though than the one they are talking about now.

Yes and it was the passenger side as well.

So are you saying that we need to replace the airbag in our 2001 VXs?

No not saying that at all...just with so many recalls from Japanese automakers going back to 2001 it just makes sense to ask good questions...hence my original question to see if anyone had heard of any issues with our beloved VXs.

Went to safecar.gov to see about the recall...no Isuzus listed.

For fun put our beloved vehicle through the search engine and came up with 23 complaints...all but two were for....windows not working properly...go figure...:bwgy::smilewink:bgwo::bgwb:
