Almost 150,000 Isuzu cars have been recalled due to a fault that can lead to the engine stalling.

The Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Communications issued a recall of 149,049 Isuzu D-MAX utes and MU-X SUVs from 2020 to 2024.

“Due to a software issue, the Engine Control Module (ECM) may incorrectly reduce the engine speed. If this occurs, the engine may stall, resulting in a loss of motive power,” it said.
