Isuzu Recalls NPR, NQR, and NRR Trucks for Loose Wheel Bolts

Isuzu is recalling 2011-2017 NPR, NQR, and NRR trucks because left rear wheel bearing hub locking bolts may be loose, increasing crash risk.

What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 4/5 (Severe).

The hazard poses a serious risk of illness, injury, or structural failure. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect (loose wheel hub bolts) that affects vehicle control and braking performance, increasing the risk of a crash, which aligns with the 'Severe' criteria for structural defects.

Plain-English summary

Isuzu Technical Center of America, Inc. is recalling certain 2011-2016 NPR, 2011-2017 NPR-HD, NQR, NRR, 2015-2017 NPR-XD, 2012-2016 Reach, NPR Gas, and NPR-HD Gas incomplete trucks. The recall involves approximately 97,000 vehicles where the left rear wheel bearing hub locking bolts may not have been properly tightened during assembly.

The loose bolts can allow the wheel assembly to move outward from the axle housing. This condition affects vehicle control and reduces braking performance, thereby increasing the risk of a crash.

Isuzu will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the left rear wheel bearing hub locking bolts and tighten them as necessary at no charge. The recall began on April 19, 2017. Owners may contact Isuzu customer service at 1-866-441-9638 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
