2012 ISUZU NPR Complaints and Recall Information
The 2012 ISUZU NPR has 0 complaints and 5 recalls filed with NHTSA. Owners most frequently report issues related to safety and equipment defects based on recall data.
The vehicle has five recalls addressing various safety and equipment concerns involving speed control, fire extinguishers, accelerator pedal, and axle hubs. These recalls affect multiple component systems and require reprogramming, replacement, or inspection to resolve potential hazards.
Recalls- Vehicle speed control. NHTSA recall 11V415000 affects 614 gasoline-powered N-Series trucks built from April 27, 2011, through July 26, 2011. A calibration error in the ECM software means the brake pedal switch failure does not cancel cruise control, increasing crash risk. Dealers will reprogram the ECM free of charge.
- Fire extinguisher malfunction. Recall 15V778000 covers 25,209 diesel and gasoline-powered trucks produced between 2011 and 2015 equipped with Kidde plastic valve fire extinguishers that may fail to discharge properly. Owners are advised to order replacements free from Kidde.
- Accelerator pedal sticking. Recall 17V324000 involves 14,807 vehicles from model years including 2012-2013. The throttle pedal may stick due to interference from a stopper bolt, causing unintended acceleration and crash risk. Dealers will replace the bolt with a flanged plate at no charge.
- Fire extinguisher safety. Recall 17V726000 applies to 69,138 trucks from various model years equipped with Walter Kidde plastic-handle fire extinguishers. These extinguishers can clog or detach nozzles, preventing proper discharge and increasing injury risk in fires. Owners will receive replacement extinguishers free from Kidde.
- Axle hub bolts tightening. Recall 17V191000 impacts 97,000 trucks from 2011 to 2017. Left rear wheel bearing hub locking bolts may be improperly tightened, risking wheel assembly movement, impaired braking, and crashes. Dealers will inspect and tighten bolts as needed free of charge.
Owners with ongoing safety defects or unresolved recall issues may want to review their rights under state lemon laws, particularly when repeated repairs or serious hazards occur.

EQUIPMENT
Isuzu Technical Center of America, Inc. (Isuzu) is recalling certain 2011-2017 Isuzu NPR, 2008 NPR HD and NPR-HD Gas, 2011-2018 NPR HD and NRR, 2015-2018 NPR XD, 2012-2018 NQR, 2012-2017 NPR Gas and NPR-HD Gas, 2016-2017 Chevrolet Low Cab Forward 3500 HD, 3500 and 4500 and 2017-2018 Chevrolet Low Cab Forward 4500 HD, 4500 XD, 5500 HD and 5500 XD vehicles, equipped with certain Walter Kidde Plastic-Handle Fire Extinguishers, models FC10 and FC110. These extinguishers may become clogged, preventing the extinguisher from discharging as expected or excessive force may be needed to activate the extinguisher. Additionally, in certain models, the nozzle may detach from the valve assembly with enough force that it could cause injury and also render the product inoperable.
Risk: In the event of a fire, if the fire extinguisher does not function properly, it can increase the risk of injury.

The affected vehicles, equipped with a gasoline-powered engine, have a throttle pedal that may get stuck under the steel stopper bolt, causing the pedal to remain in the full throttle position.
