Isuzu Npr Xd Recalls

The Isuzu NPR XD has 11 recalls spanning 2012 through 2027, with the most serious being a wire harness defect on 2025–2027 models where the chassis and cab wiring can chafe against metal components, causing an engine stall, brake light failure, or a fire from melting wires.

On 2019–2020 models, rear outer wheel lug nuts may not have been properly tightened at the factory, allowing wheels to loosen and separate from the vehicle while driving. The 2020 model year also has a front seatbelt recall covering vehicles equipped with a dual-mode locking mechanism, where the belt may fail to properly restrain an occupant in a crash.

The 2016–2020 model years have a rear axle U-bolt recall where the nuts can loosen and allow the axle to shift out of alignment, which can cause the driveshaft to separate and the vehicle to lose power. The 2019 model year alone has a brake light switch that can detach from its bracket, causing the brake lights to stay on regardless of pedal position and disabling the shift interlock. There is also a 2019 instrument cluster issue where the odometer correctly measures miles but displays them as kilometers, which can cause owners to miss scheduled maintenance intervals.

Going back to 2015–2017 production, loose left rear wheel bearing hub bolts can allow the wheel assembly to shift outward on the axle, reducing braking performance and vehicle control. A separate 2015–2017 frame crossmember issue involves broken transmission mounting studs that can leave the transmission unsupported and prevent proper shifting. The 2015–2018 model years have a recall covering fire extinguishers that may not function correctly, as do 2012–2015 models with the same concern. The 2016 model year, specifically trucks built in mid-2015 with 5.2L diesel engines, has a tire and load information label that may be difficult to read, raising the risk of overloading or underinflating tires.
