Does a recall affect your Isuzu Trooper?

Not every Isuzu Trooper is affected. Each recall covers cars built on particular dates or with particular VINs, which DVSA’s file does not list in full. To check a specific car, use GOV.UK’s vehicle recall check with its registration, or ask the manufacturer or a dealer, who can check the VIN.

23% of the Isuzu Troopers on the DVLA record are vans, and DVSA’s recalls cover every body type, so some of these recalls may apply only to vans.

2012 1 recall

Engine speed may increase unintentionally

Launched 15 January 2012 DVSA recall R/2011/154

Defect
It is possible that the internal contact resistance of the crimped joints for the grounding between the throttle position sensor (TPS) and engine control module may increase due to engine vibration. This can lead to an increased TPS voltage output which could lead to an increase in engine revolutions whilst at idle without any throttle input.
Remedy
Recall all affected vehicles for the installation of a new wiring harness.
Vehicles affected
12,382 Trooper vehicles
Built
1 Jan 1993 to 31 Dec 2003

2006 1 recall

Dilution of engine oil leading to engine damage

Launched 3 March 2006 DVSA recall R/2005/179

Defect
Due to excessive clearance within the fuel injectors fuel may leak into the cylinder bores and then into the sump causing engine oil dilution. If this situation is ignored engine damage can occur additionally the engine revs may show an unintentional increase.
Remedy
Affected vehicles will have the fuel injectors replaced.
Vehicles affected
14,215 Trooper vehicles
Built
1 Jan 1998 to 31 Dec 2003

2005 1 recall

Heater terminal may burn out

Launched 30 June 2005 DVSA recall R/2004/195

Defect
If the ceramic heater is used on full for an extended period of time the heater terminal may burn out. Although there have been no fires to date there is a very slight possibility that combustion could occur.
Remedy
Recall the likely to affected vehicles and fit new terminals.
Vehicles affected
14,697 Trooper vehicles

January 1992 to September 2026 3 recalls matched to this model 15 September 2026
  • Road vehicle recalls (DVSA numbers starting R/) whose model names match the Isuzu Trooper. DVSA records some recalls under a range or chassis name we cannot match, so this list may be incomplete.
  • Vehicles affected is the number the manufacturer reported to DVSA. When one recall covers several models, DVSA often gives only the total.
  • Build dates are the periods the manufacturer gave. Some recalls have none. VINs are not shown.
  • Concerns written in capitals have been put in sentence case, and apostrophes lost in DVSA’s file have been put back. The text is otherwise DVSA’s.
