Recall campaigns
Defect, as filed: Isuzu Technical Center of America, Inc. (Isuzu) is recalling certain model year 2008-2009 and 2012-2013 Isuzu NPR and NPR HD vehicles and 2008-2009 GMC W3500 and GMC W4500 vehicles. The affected vehicles, equipped with a gasoline-powered engine, have a throttle pedal that may get stuck under the steel stopper bolt, causing the pedal to remain in the full throttle position.
Consequence: A stuck open accelerator pedal may result in very high vehicle speeds and make it difficult to stop the vehicle, which could cause a crash, serious injury or death.
Remedy: Isuzu will notify owners, and dealers will remove and replace the stopper bolt with a flanged plate, to prevent lateral movement of the throttle, free of charge. The recall began on June 23, 2017. Owners may contact Isuzu customer service at 1-866-441-9638.

Defect, as filed: 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.
