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 risk-of-harm product where the defect may increase the risk of a crash, but no injuries or fatalities have been reported.

Plain-English summary

Isuzu Technical Center of America, Inc. is recalling certain model year 2016 NPR-HD, NPR-XD, NQR, and NRR trucks manufactured between July 3, 2015, and September 2, 2015. These vehicles are equipped with 5.2L diesel engines. The recall involves 21 affected vehicles.

The certification label on these vehicles may contain typographical errors in the rim size, tire pressure, and weight information. This error may prevent owners from accurately loading and maintaining the vehicle, causing the vehicles to fail to comply with 49 CFR Part 567, "Certification." If the owner cannot reference and understand this information, they may overload the vehicle or underinflate the tires, which may increase the risk of a crash.

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 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
