Plain-English summary

Isuzu Technical Center of America, Inc. is recalling certain 2018-2020 Isuzu FTR and Chevrolet 6500XD vehicles. The recall involves 2,399 units where the chassis wire harness outside the relay box may have been improperly routed. This routing error allows the harness to contact the suspension's leaf spring hanger bracket, which can cause the harness to chafe.

Depending on which wires are damaged, the vehicle may experience stalling and/or reduced functionality of the Anti-lock Braking System (ABS). These issues increase the risk of a crash. No specific injuries or fatalities are reported in the source text.

The recall began on May 15, 2020. Isuzu will notify owners, and dealers will repair or replace the existing wire harness as necessary and install additional clamps to secure the harness away from the hanger bracket. This repair is 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.
