2003 Isuzu Rodeo Sport Review
"Base-price reductions make 2003 news for Isuzu's only 2-dr model. The Rodeo Sport is basically a shortened version of Isuzu's 4-dr Rodeo wagon. It comes as a hardtop with a pop-up front sunroof, and as a semiconvertible with a folding soft top over the back seat. Four-cyl versions are rear-wheel drive only. V6 versions offer 2WD or 4WD that must be disengaged on dry pavement but includes low-range gearing. ABS is standard; side airbags are unavailable. A revised instrument panel is the main addition for 2003, while base prices decrease by $1101 to $2376 with no significant changes in equipment levels.

| 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. |
