Almost 150,000 Isuzu Ute Australia D-MAX and MU-X vehicles have been recalled over a potential software problem .

According to the Department of Infrastructure and Transport , the defect involves a software issue affecting the engine control module ( ECM ), leading to the ECM incorrectly reducing engine speed . “ If this occurs , the engine may stall , resulting in a loss of motive power ,” the department said .

In a statement , Isuzu said : “ Isuzu Motors Limited has identified a rare condition-based scenario relating to the ECM software controlling the fuel pump , which may result in a decrease in engine output or rpm across a number of 21MY-onwards D-MAX and MU-X models fitted with the 3L 4JJ3-TCX engine .

“ While a very small number of cases have been reported , as a proactive precaution , 149,048 vehicles have been flagged for the ECM software update . Affected owners will be contacted in writing by Isuzu Ute Australia to have their vehicle inspected at their local Isuzu Ute dealer , where the Engine Control Module ( ECM ) software will be updated free of charge .”
