Tap a recall to see the problem, the risk and the fix.

Seat belts:front:buckle assemblyOct 15, 2002 · NHTSA campaign 02V281000 · 14,449 vehicles

Problem: On certain sport utility vehicles and pickup trucks, the latch plate used in the seat belt buckle was not manufactured according to design dimensions. If the seat belt tongue is inserted slowly at an angle into the buckle, there is a possibility of partial engagement.

Risk: This condition can cause the seat belt tongue to come out of the buckle in the event of a collision or hard braking of the vehicle increasing the risk of personal injury to an occupant of the seat.

Fix: Dealers will inspect the buckle and, if necessary, replace the buckle assembly with a new buckle. Owner notification is expected to begin during mid-december 2002. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact isuzu at 1-800-643-4070.

Electrical system:alternator/generator/regulatorMar 7, 1997 · NHTSA campaign 97V034001 · 118,485 vehicles

Problem: An integrated circuit within the voltage regulator can contain manufacturing errors.

Risk: This can cause excessive electrical charging of the vehicle's alternator, resulting in engine control malfunction, and/or eventual engine stall.

Fix: Dealers will replace the voltage regulator with a new regulator.
