The 2015 Isuzu NQR has 4 recalls, the most serious being a left rear wheel hub where loose locking bolts can allow the wheel assembly to shift outward on the axle, reducing braking performance and vehicle control.
A second structural concern involves the frame crossmember that supports the transmission. Metal burrs left on the crossmember during manufacturing can cause the transmission mounting studs to crack and break over time. Without proper support, the transmission may not shift correctly, which can affect the driver's ability to manage vehicle speed or power. On the equipment side, the truck's onboard fire extinguisher may fail to discharge properly in a fire, leaving the driver without a functioning suppression tool when it is needed most.
