Plain-English summary

Isuzu Technical Center of America, Inc. is recalling certain 2017-2020 Isuzu NPR-HD, 2019-2020 Isuzu NPR-XD, NQR, and NRR vehicles, as well as 2019-2020 Chevrolet 4500HD, 5500HD, and 5500XD, and 2020 Chevrolet 4500XD vehicles. The recall involves 1,926 vehicles.

The defect involves the lug nuts on the rear outer wheels, which may not have been properly tightened when installed onto the rear axles. If the lug nuts were not properly tightened, they can loosen, causing the wheel to separate from the vehicle, which increases the risk of a crash.

Dealers will inspect the rear outer wheel lug nuts and tighten or replace them as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on December 20, 2019. Owners may contact Isuzu customer service at 1-866-441-9638 or Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020. Isuzu's number for this recall is V1906.
