  1. NHTSA campaign 10V636000

    Reported

    Engine and Engine Cooling

    Model years 2006–2007

    Isuzu is recalling certain model year 2006-2007 Isuzu NPR, NQR, NRR, GMC W3500, W4500, W5500, and Chevrolet W3500, W4500, and W5500 vehicles. The oil pipe bolts were not tightened properly during the vehicle production process. If not adequately tightened, the bolt may loosen after prolonged vehicle operation, which can result in oil seepage or leakage from the packing seals. In general, as oil is lost, the oil warning lamp will illuminate, and there may be abnormal engine noise and loss of oil can cause engine seizure.

    Consequence:
    If the engine seizes while the vehicle is being driven, the vehicle may experience sudden deceleration leading to an increased risk of a crash.
    Remedy:
    Dealers will replace the packing seals with new ones and the bolt will be tightened with a specified torque. This service will be performed free of charge. The safety recall began on January 28, 2011. Owners may contact Isuzu at 1-800-255-6727.

  2. NHTSA campaign 09V042000

    Reported

    Power Train › Driveline › Driveshaft

    Model years 2008–2009

    Izusu is recalling 2,836 MY 2008-2009 NPR/NQR and NRR, GMC W3500, 4500 and 5500, Chevrolet W3500, 4500 and 5500 trucks. The propeller shaft was manufactured with insufficient high frequency heat treatment. As a result, the affected portion of the propeller shaft may not maintain its durability through the expected vehicle useful life.

    Consequence:
    The propeller shaft could break off while the vehicle is being driving, which would result in the vehicle stalling and coasting to a stop, or loss of vehicle control which could result in a crash.
    Remedy:
    Dealers will replace the propeller shaft free of charge. The recall began on March 5, 2009. Owners may contact Isuzu at 1-866-441-9638.

  3. NHTSA campaign 08V251000

    Reported

    Fuel System, Diesel

    Model years 2006–2007

    Isuzu is recalling 16,859 MY 2006-2007 Isuzu NPR, NQR, NRR, GMC W3500, W4500, W5500 and Chevrolet W3500, W4500, W5500 trucks equipped with diesel engines. Diesel fuel may seep or leak from the fuel pipe at the upper or lower fuel port on the diesel fuel supply pump.

    Consequence:
    Fuel leakage, in the presence of an ignition source, could result in a fire.
    Remedy:
    Dealers will inspect the vehicles and if no seepage or leakage is detected, the fuel pipe fittings will be tightened. If seepage or leakage is detected, the fuel supply pump will be replaced with a new one. The recall will begin on June 30, 2008. Owners may contact Isuzu at 1-800-255-6727, GMC at 1-866-996-9463, or Chevrolet at 1-800-630-2438..

  4. NHTSA campaign 05V168000

    Reported

    Fuel System, Diesel › Storage › Tank Assembly

    Model years 2003–2004

    On certain trucks equipped with rpo IK9, due to insufficient durability and testing, the fuel switching manifold solenoids lack water or salt intrusion resistance, which can lead to failure of one or more solenoids. Fuel switching manifold solenoid failure will cause incorrect fuel delivery resulting in fuel overflow from the fuel filler neck.

    Consequence:
    Overflow fuel may result in high amount of diesel fuel leakage. Fuel leakage, in the presence of an ignition source, could result in a fire.
    Remedy:
    Dealers will replace the solenoid valve assembly with an improved assembly including additional detection circuit and enhanced water resistance free of charge. The recall began on October 27, 2005. Owners may contact Isuzu at 1-800-255-6727.

How to read this recall list

This list shows every safety recall campaign NHTSA has on file for this make, model and model year. It is not specific to one vehicle: a recall often covers only vehicles built in a certain date range or with a certain part, and many of the vehicles it covers will already have been repaired.

What each recall field means
What each recall field means
FieldWhat it tells you
Campaign numberNHTSA's unique ID for the recall, such as 20V771000. Quote it to a dealer or when searching NHTSA's site.
ComponentThe system or part involved, for example air bags, brakes or electrical software.
SummaryWhat the defect or non-compliance is and which vehicles are covered.
ConsequenceThe safety risk if the problem isn't fixed.
RemedyWhat the manufacturer will do, such as a repair, replacement or software update, and whether it is free.
  • Some recalls carry an NHTSA consumer advisory, “Do Not Drive” or “Park Outside”. Follow it until the repair is done.
  • A single campaign often covers several models or model years, so the same campaign number can appear in more than one list.
  • Recalls are shown as NHTSA publishes them. Very recent campaigns may take time to appear.
