THIS NOTICE IS SENT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE CALIFORNIA AIR RESOURCES BOARD REGULATIONS.


Isuzu Motors Limited has determined that a defect exists in some 1991 Impulse and Stylus vehicles.

WHAT IS THE DEFECT?

On 1991 California model, non-turbocharged Impulse and Stylus vehicles, the "CHECK ENGINE" lamp illuminates when the engine coolant temperature is below 68 degrees Fahrenheit. This is due to an incorrect resistor in the Electronic Control Module's (ECM) Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) diagnostic circuit.

WHAT SHOULD YOU DO?

Please make an appointment with your authorized Isuzu Dealer, who will replace the ECM. This will be done free of charge. It will take approximately a half hour to repair the vehicle.

To ensure your full protection under the emission warranty provisions, it is recommended that you have your vehicle serviced as soon as possible. Failure to do so could be determined as lack of proper maintenance of your vehicle. Also, your vehicle could fail a state or local emission inspection test if this repair is not accomplished.

You may contact the appropriate Isuzu Regional Office listed in the back of the Owner's Manual; or the National Customer Relations Office, American Isuzu Motors Inc., P.O. Box 2280, City of Industry, California 91746 (phone 800-255-6727), if you believe that the defect has not been remedied without charge within a reasonable time, which is not longer than sixty (60) days from the date you take the vehicle to an Isuzu Dealer or Service Facility for remedy of the defect.

We are indeed sorry for any inconvenience, and we appreciate your cooperation in having this correction to your Isuzu vehicle completed.

IMPORTANT: If you have sold your Isuzu vehicle, please enter the new owner's name and address, if known, on the enclosed "Change of Information " postcard and drop it in the mail. Postage has already been paid. We will contact the new owner.
