The 2017 Isuzu NPR has 2 recalls, the more serious being a rear suspension issue where loose U-bolt nuts can allow the rear axle to shift out of alignment, causing the driveshaft to separate and the vehicle to stall or lose drive power.
The second recall involves the onboard fire extinguisher, which may not function properly and could fail to suppress a fire if one breaks out.
