Isuzu has issued an urgent recall for its popular D-Max dual-cab ute after a fire risk was detected.
The Federal government Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development, Communications and the Arts issued a recall for the utes on Wednesday.
More than 8,000 vehicles built between 2021 and 2023 suffered a manufacturing issue that causes the fuel hose to rub against the engine oil level bracket.
If the hose is damaged, it could cause a fuel leak and dangerous fire.
