The 2014 Isuzu NPR HD has 4 recalls, the most serious being two drivetrain and control issues: a left rear wheel hub that can work loose and reduce braking and steering control, and an accelerator pedal that can stick open and make the vehicle difficult to stop.
The wheel hub issue involves locking bolts that may not have been fully tightened, allowing the rear wheel assembly to shift outward from the axle while driving. The accelerator concern involves a pedal that can stick in the open position, causing the truck to accelerate uncontrollably. There are also two recalls involving the onboard fire extinguisher, which may fail to function properly in the event of a fire.
