Isuzu Recalls 2012-2013 Reach Chassis Due to Horn Switch Defect

Isuzu is recalling 2012-2013 Reach stripped chassis because the horn switch may fail, increasing crash risk. Dealers will inspect and replace the switch free of charge.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a safety-critical component (horn) where failure increases crash risk, but no specific injuries or deaths are reported in the source text, fitting the 'risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported' criterion.

Plain-English summary

Isuzu Manufacturing Services of America is recalling certain model year 2012-2013 Reach stripped chassis vehicles. The affected units were manufactured between July 26, 2011, and August 27, 2013. The recall involves 1,770 vehicles.

The horn switch contacts in these vehicles may be bent or wear prematurely, which can cause the horn to stop working. An inoperable horn may increase the risk of a crash.

Isuzu will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the horn contact shaft for bending or premature wear. If either condition is found, dealers will replace the steering wheel combination switch free of charge. Owners may contact Isuzu customer service at 1-866-441-9638 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
