Isuzu Recalls 2012 N-Series Trucks for Cruise Control Defect

Isuzu is recalling 2012 N-Series trucks because a software error may prevent the brake pedal from canceling cruise control if the brake switch fails.

What this means for you

Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Plain-English summary

Isuzu Manufacturing Services of America is recalling certain model year 2012 N-Series trucks equipped with gasoline engines. These vehicles were manufactured between April 27, 2011, and July 26, 2011. The recall affects the Isuzu NQR and NPR models.

The recall is due to a calibration error in the Engine Control Module (ECM) software. If the brake pedal switch fails or malfunctions, applying the brake pedal will not cancel the cruise control system. This condition could result in a vehicle crash.

Isuzu will notify owners, and dealers will reprogram the ECM software free of charge. The safety recall began on September 2, 2011. Owners may contact Isuzu at 1-866-455-7595 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
