POWER TRAIN
Isuzu Technical Center of America, Inc. (Isuzu) is recalling certain 2015-2017 NPR HD, NPR XD, NQR and NRR trucks. During manufacturing, the stamping equipment may have created burrs on the frame crossmember that the transmission is mounted to. These burrs may cause the transmission mounting studs to break.
Risk: If the studs break, the transmission may not be properly supported, preventing it from shifting correctly and increasing the risk of a crash.

EQUIPMENT:OTHER:LABELS
Isuzu Technical Center of America, Inc. (Isuzu) is recalling certain model year 2016 NPR-HD, NPR-XD, NQR, and NRR trucks manufactured July 3, 2015, to September 2, 2015 and equipped with 5.2L diesel engines. The certification label on the affected vehicles may have typographical errors in the rim size, tire pressure and weight information that may prevent the owner from accurately loading and maintaining the vehicle.
