Isuzu and Chevrolet Trucks Recalled for Odometer Unit Display Error

Isuzu is recalling 2019 NPR and Chevrolet 4500/5500 trucks because the odometer may display kilometers instead of miles, potentially delaying critical maintenance.

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 could impair safe operation and increase crash risk, but no specific injuries or fatalities are reported in the source text.

Plain-English summary

Isuzu Technical Center of America, Inc. is recalling certain 2019 Isuzu NPR-HD, NPR-XD, NQR, NRR, Chevrolet 4500HD, 4500XD, 5500HD, and 5500XD vehicles. The recall addresses a defect in the instrument cluster where the odometer accurately measures distance in miles but erroneously displays the unit as kilometers (km) instead of miles (mi) on the LCD screen.

An incorrect odometer reading could lead to an unintended delay in critical safety-related maintenance. This delay may impair the safe operation of the vehicle and increase the risk of a crash. The recall began on March 13, 2019.

Isuzu will notify customers and dealers to inspect the odometer LCD. If the display shows 'mi', the recall is deemed complete. If it shows 'km', the dealer will replace the meter cluster with one that indicates 'mi' and reprogram the new odometer to reflect the correct mileage. Owners may contact Isuzu customer service at 1-866-441-9638 or GM customer service at 1-800-862-4389.
