The 2020 Isuzu NQR has 3 recalls, the most serious being two chassis-level defects where rear wheels or the driveshaft can separate from the truck while in motion, raising the risk of a crash.
On the wheel side, rear outer lug nuts may not have been properly tightened at the factory and can work loose over time, allowing a rear wheel to detach entirely from the axle. Separately, the U-bolts that clamp the rear leaf springs to the axle may also be undertightened, allowing the axle to shift out of alignment. When the axle moves out of position, it can pull the driveshaft apart, cutting power to the rear wheels and stalling the truck. The third recall involves the front seatbelts on vehicles equipped with a dual-mode belt locking mechanism. The locking system can fail to properly restrain an occupant in a crash, increasing the chance of injury.
