The 2013 Isuzu NPR HD has 4 recalls, the most serious being a stuck accelerator pedal on gasoline-engine models that can lock at full throttle, making the truck very difficult to slow or stop and raising the risk of a crash.
A second serious concern involves the left rear wheel bearing hub, where locking bolts may not have been fully tightened during assembly. The wheel assembly can shift outward on the axle, reducing braking performance and making the truck harder to control. Two recalls address a fire extinguisher that may not function correctly when needed, which could limit the ability to manage an onboard fire.
