The problem
On certain sport utility vehicles, the accelerator cable can stick so that the engine speed will not immediately decrease upon release of the accelerator pedal.
The risk
This can cause the accelerator throttle cable to delay RPM and vehicle speed reduction for several seconds after the accelerator pedal is released, which in turn, can lead to a crash.
The fix
Dealers will replace the throttle cable rubber boot. Owner notification began on May 24, 2004. Owners should contact Isuzu at 1-800-255-6727.
