The defect
Isuzu Technical Center of America, Inc. (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. The certification label on the affected vehicles may have typographical errors in the rim size, tire pressure and weight information that may prevent the owner from accurately loading and maintaining the vehicle. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of 49 CFR Part 567, "Certification."
The risk
If the rim size, tire pressure and weight information cannot be referenced and understood, the owner may overload the vehicle or underinflate the tires. These conditions may increase the risk of a crash.
The remedy
Isuzu will provide owners with a corrected certification label, free of charge. The recall began on April 25, 2016. Owners may contact Isuzu customer service at 1-866-441-9638.

What this page is, and what to do next
A recall is not an opinion. It is a Part 573 report a manufacturer is required by federal law to file once it decides a defect poses an unreasonable risk to safety, and it commits them to repairing the vehicle at no cost to the owner. The three passages above are the manufacturer’s own wording as published by NHTSA.
This page describes the campaign. It cannot tell you whether one particular car has already been through the shop — that is tracked by VIN, and only the manufacturer knows it. Check yours at nhtsa.gov/recalls or with a franchised dealer, quoting campaign number 16V105000.
