The 2015 Isuzu NPR HD has 5 recalls, the most serious involving a rear wheel assembly that can shift outward from the axle while driving, reducing braking performance and vehicle control, and an accelerator pedal that can stick open and make the truck difficult to stop.
On the structural side, frame crossmember burrs can cause the transmission mounting studs to break, leaving the transmission unsupported and preventing proper gear shifting. The fire extinguisher included with the truck may also fail to function correctly in a fire, reducing the ability to suppress flames before they spread.
