Defect. Isuzu Technical Center of America, Inc. (Isuzu) is recalling certain 2015-2017 Isuzu NPR, Reach, 2016-2020 Isuzu NPR XD, NPR HD, NQR, 2016-2021 Isuzu NRR, 2017-2020 Chevrolet 4500XD, 4500HD, 5500HD, and 2020 Chevrolet 5500XD vehicles.

These extinguishers may become clogged, preventing the extinguisher from discharging as expected or excessive force may be needed to activate the extinguisher. Additionally, in certain models, the nozzle may detach from the valve assembly with enough force that it could cause injury and also render the product inoperable.

Risk. In the event of a fire, if the fire extinguisher does not function properly, it can increase the risk of injury.

Remedy. Isuzu will notify owners, instructing them to contact Kidde to get a replacement fire extinguisher, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin in December 2017. Owners may contact Isuzu customer service at 1-866-441-9638 or Walter Kidde customer service at 1-855-262-3540 or they may also visit www.kidde.com and click on "Product Safety Recall" to order replacement fire extinguishers free of charge.

Defect. Isuzu Technical Center of America, Inc. (Isuzu) is recalling certain 2015-2017 NPR HD, NPR XD, NQR and NRR trucks. During manufacturing, the stamping equipment may have created burrs on the frame crossmember that the transmission is mounted to. These burrs may cause the transmission mounting studs to break.

Risk. If the studs break, the transmission may not be properly supported, preventing it from shifting correctly and increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy. Isuzu will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the vehicles and install a metal shim to prevent stress on the mounting studs, free of charge. The recall on April 17, 2017. Owners may contact Isuzu customer service at 1-866-441-9638.

(Isuzu) is recalling certain model year 2016 NPR-HD, NPR-XD, NQR, and NRR trucks manufactured July 3, 2015, to September 2, 2015 and equipped with 5.2L diesel engines.

SINCE I HAVE BOUGHT THE TRUCK I HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE TRUCK HEAVILY SWAYING FROM SIDE TO SIDE. THE PROBLEM HAS PERSISTED SINCE I HAVE BOUGHT THE TRUCK AND LEAVES ME FEELING VERY SICK AFTER LONG DRIVES. THIS ALSO MAKES MY TRUCK FEEL HIGHLY UNSAFE TRAVELING DOWN THE ROAD AS THE SWAYING IS SO SEVERE, SOMETIMES IT MAY FEEL LIKE IT WILL TIP AND POTENTIALLY HURT SOMEONE. I HAVE SPOKE WITH DEALERSHIP I BOUGHT THE TRUCK FROM FOR OVER A YEAR NOW AND HE REFUSES TO ADDRESS MY PROBLEM. THIS PROBLEM IS NOT ONLY A HUGE RISK FOR MY LIFE FOR ANY ONE ON THE RODE AS THIS TRUCK IS HIGHLY UNSAFE. THE DEALERSHIP CONTINUES TO IGNORE MY CALLS AND TELLS ME THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. A REPRESENTATIVE I HAVE SPOKEN TO FROM THE DEALERSHIP EVEN TOLD ME THEY KNEW THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH MY TRUCK BUT FEARS FOR HIS JOB IF HE SPEAKS OUT. I DO NOT HAVE A RECORDING OF HIM TELLING ME THIS BUT I CAN ENSURE YOU HE KNOWS OF THE PROBLEM I AM HAVING. THIS PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED RIGHT AWAY AS EVERYDAY I AM ON THE ROAD IT IS A DANGER TO EVERYONE ELSE.

Reading this record

No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.

Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.

Recall repairs are free for as long as the recall stands. Check whether a specific car still has open work at NHTSA's VIN lookup.
