AFFECTED VEHICLES

  • 2020 – 2023MY N-Series Vehicles Produced from 8/26/2020 through 7/31/2022 and Equipped with 6.6L (L8T) Gasoline Engines

 

CONDITION

General Motors LLC, the manufacturer of the engine in your vehicle, has determined that certain 2020 – 2023MY N-Series vehicles produced from 8/26/2020 through 7/31/2022 and equipped with 6.6L (L8T) gasoline engines may experience water intrusion into the Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor connector. If water intrudes into this connection, you may experience engine performance issues as well as setting the Check Engine Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL).

 

CORRECTION

Dealers will replace the MAF sensor and apply additional sealing tape to the MAF connection for waterproof protection on affected vehicles. This service will be provided free of charge.

IMPORTANT: California dealers must issue a “Proof of Correction Certificate” to owners of the affected vehicles after completing the work specified below. Advise the Isuzu owners to keep the Certificate, as the California Department of Motor Vehicles may ask for proof of this campaign completion before permitting renewal of the vehicles’ registration.

IMPORTANT: Dealers must fill out every field on the Proof of Correction Certificate.

 

VEHICLES INVOLVED

Involved are certain 2020 – 2023MY N-Series vehicles produced from 8/26/2020 through 7/31/2022 and equipped with 6.6L (L8T) gasoline engines.

NOTE: Dealers are to confirm vehicle eligibility prior to beginning repairs by using the Isuzu Vehicle Information System (IVIS).

For dealers with involved vehicles, a report of involved vehicles containing the complete vehicle identification number has been or will be provided. Dealers will not have a report available if they have no involved vehicles currently assigned.
