NHTSA ROLLOVER RESISTANCE RATING: *  *  * 

The Rollover Resistance Rating is an estimate of your risk of rolling over if you have a single vehicle crash. It does not predict the likelihood of that crash. The Rollover Resistance Rating essentially measures vehicle characteristics of center of gravity and track width to determine how "top-heavy" a vehicle is. The more "top-heavy" the vehicle, the more likely it is to roll over. The lowest rated vehicles (1-star) are at least four times more likely to roll over than the highest rated vehicles (5-stars).

2003 Isuzu Rodeo Review
"Isuzu's oldest SUV comes as a 4-dr wagon called the Rodeo and as a 2-dr wagon and convertible called the Rodeo Sport. Base prices are reduced on both for 2003. The 4-dr Rodeo is Isuzu's top-selling vehicle. The Sport is basically a shortened version of the 4-dr wagon. The Sport comes as a hardtop with a pop-up front sunroof or as a semiconvertible with a folding soft top over the back seat. All body styles have a side-hinged tailgate with externally mounted spare tire. The wagons have flip-up tailgate glass. Both Rodeo and Sport come with a 4-cyl or V6 engine. Sport convertibles use only the 4 cyl and manual transmission. Other models offer manual or automatic transmission. All 4-cyl models are 2WD. V6 versions offer 4WD that must be disengaged on dry pavement but includes low-range gearing. ABS is standard; side airbags are unavailable. The dashboard is revised for '03, and on 4-dr models, a CD player, rear privacy glass, and full-size spare tire are newly standard. All have 16-inch wheels. The 4-dr Rodeo no longer is available with 18-inch wheels or adjustable suspension, and creating options packages out of some previously standard equipment helps cut its base price as much as $2381. Sport's base price decreases as much as $2376 with no significant changes in equipment."

Summary Isuzu Manufacturing Services of America, Inc (Isuzu) is recalling certain model year 2003-2004 Rodeo and Axiom, and 2003 Rodeo Sport vehicles that were originally sold in, or are currently registered in, Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, the District of Columbia, West Virginia, Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, Kentucky and Missouri. These vehicles may experience excessive corrosion near the forward mounting point bracket for the left or right rear suspension lower link.
Consequence The corrosion may allow the bracket to detach from the frame, impacting vehicle handling and increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy Isuzu will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the rear suspension lower link bracket area. For vehicles in which little or no corrosion is found, the area will be treated with an anti-corrosive compound. For vehicles in which corrosion has damaged the rear suspension lower link bracket and affected its connection to the vehicle frame, a reinforcement bracket will be installed. In the event the corrosion is so severe that the reinforcement bracket remedy would not be sufficient, Isuzu will offer to repurchase the vehicle for an amount based on the Kelley Blue Book "Private Party" price. All inspections and remedies will be provided free of charge for vehicles that are 10 years old or less. For vehicles older than 10 years, Isuzu will offer a free remedy, but only if the vehicle is presented to an Isuzu service facility dealer within 12 months of when owner notifications were issued, after that time owners will be charged for the repairs. The recall is expected to begin in mid-December 2013. Isuzu owners may contact Isuzu at 1-800-255-6727.
Notes Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
