Isuzu Recalls 2,586 D-Max Bakkies Over Potential Brake Fault

Isuzu Recalls 2,586 D-Max Bakkies Over Potential Brake Fault. The National Consumer Commission (NCC) has notified South African consumers of a safety recall affecting 2,586 Isuzu D-Max RG19 bakkies sold in the country.

The recall applies to single-cab, double-cab and extended-cab models sold nationwide between 11 May and 3 July 2026. The affected vehicles were also exported to Botswana, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, Zimbabwe, Tanzania, eSwatini, Uganda and Zambia.

According to Isuzu Motors South Africa, the affected vehicles may have a loose brake pedal pivot pin. The component forms part of the brake pedal assembly.

If the pivot pin is loose, the brake pedal may move sideways when the brakes are applied. This could make it more difficult for the driver to fully depress the brake pedal and potentially affect braking performance when attempting to stop the vehicle.

Owners of affected D-Max bakkies have been urged to contact their nearest Isuzu dealership and arrange for their vehicles to be inspected.

Where the defective component is identified, it will be replaced as part of the recall. Isuzu will carry out the remedial work at no cost to consumers.

The NCC has stressed the importance of addressing the recall because of the potential implications involving the vehicle’s braking system.

“A vehicle’s braking system is a critical safety component of a vehicle. It is therefore imperative for owners or users of these vehicles to contact their preferred authorised dealership without any delay,” said NCC Acting Commissioner Hardin Ratshisusu.

The recall covers vehicles distributed in South Africa during the specified sales period, as well as affected units exported to several other African markets.

Owners who believe their vehicles may fall within the affected range are advised to contact an authorised Isuzu dealership for inspection and the required remedial work.
