Reported Mar 19, 2021 · 258 vehicles affected · Isuzu Technical Center of America, Inc.

Problem: Isuzu Technical Center of America, Inc.

The U-bolt nuts for the rear axle may not have been properly tightened and may loosen, causing the axle to misalign.

Risk: The misalignment may cause the propeller shaft to separate, causing a loss of power to the rear wheels and a stall, increasing the risk of a crash.

Fix: Isuzu will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and, if needed, replace and tighten the rear axle U-bolt nuts, free of charge. The recall began on April 23, 2021. Owners may contact Isuzu customer service at 1-866-441-9638. Isuzu's number for this recall is V2103.

Fix: Isuzu will notify owners, instructing them to contact Kidde to get a replacement fire extinguisher, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin in December 2017.
