I think it's terrible that the recall for the rear suspension was a limited time recall. I am not the original owner of the vehicle but purchased it used. One day while crossing over a bridge the rear control arm snapped due to the corrosion and almost caused us to go off the bridge. We called Isuzu after and were told that there was nothing they would do because the recall had expired. I don't understand how they can make something like that a limited time recall when someone could have died.
