The vehicle has multiple recalls affecting various components including fire extinguishers, suspension, accelerator pedals, and axle assemblies. These recalls involve potential safety risks such as extinguisher failure, axle misalignment, unintended acceleration, and wheel assembly issues.
Recalls- Fire extinguisher defect. NHTSA recall 15V778000 affects 25,209 vehicles. Certain 2012-2016 NPR diesel and gasoline trucks may have Kidde plastic valve fire extinguishers that do not discharge properly. This increases injury risk in a fire. Owners will be instructed to get free replacement extinguishers from Isuzu or Kidde.
- Rear suspension U-bolt. Recall 21V194000 covers 258 trucks from 2015-2021 model years. The rear axle U-bolt nuts may loosen causing axle misalignment that can lead to propeller shaft separation, power loss, and stalling, raising crash risk. Dealers will inspect and tighten or replace U-bolt nuts free of charge.
- Accelerator pedal sticking. Recall 16V797000 involves 25,018 gasoline NPR and NPR HD vehicles from 2014-2016. The throttle pedal may get stuck on a stopper bolt causing full throttle and difficulty stopping. Owners will have the stopper bolt replaced with a flanged plate at no cost.
- Fire extinguisher clogging and nozzle detachment. Recall 17V726000 affects 69,138 trucks from 2008-2018 across several models. Walter Kidde extinguishers may clog or require excessive force to activate, and the nozzle can detach causing injury and inoperability. Free replacement extinguishers will be provided by Kidde.
- Wheel bearing locking bolts loose. Recall 17V191000 includes 97,000 incomplete trucks from 2011-2017. Left rear wheel bearing locking bolts may be improperly tightened, allowing wheel movement that impairs vehicle control and braking, increasing crash risk. Dealers will inspect and tighten bolts for free.
Owners dealing with repeated repairs or unresolved recall issues related to safety defects may have rights under their state lemon law. Consulting a consumer protection attorney could provide guidance on legal options.
