Isuzu Nrr Recalls

The Isuzu NRR has 20 recalls spanning 2007 through 2027, with the most serious recent issues affecting 2025 model year electric variants where wiring harnesses can chafe against metal components, causing engine stalls, brake light failure, or melting wires that can start a fire.

The 2025 NRR EV has several additional electrical and powertrain concerns. Incompatible coolants mixed in the high-voltage cooling system can cause the cooling pump to seize or accumulate debris, cutting drive power to the wheels. A separate issue involves an electrical connection in the sub-junction box that can overheat and also cut drive power. In the inverter, a gap between the bus bar and connection terminal can cause the drive motor to shut off. These 2025 EV issues share the same practical consequence: unexpected loss of propulsion while driving.

On 2025-2027 diesel and gas models, the same wiring harness chafing problem described above applies, with the same risks of stall, brake light failure, and fire.

The 2022 model year has two separate issues: trucks that had their frames extended may not have had the anti-lock brake system and driver assistance camera recalibrated afterward, leaving those safety systems unreliable. Also on 2022 models with gasoline engines, the oil pressure sensor was wired backward at the factory, so the warning light never activates when oil pressure drops, which can lead to engine damage or sudden power loss. A 2023 model year issue involves an incorrect instrument cluster that fails to display lane departure and automatic emergency braking warnings before those systems activate.

Going back to 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. On 2016-2021 models, rear axle U-bolt nuts can loosen and let the axle shift out of alignment, which can cause the driveshaft to separate and the vehicle to stall. The 2011-2017 model years have a left rear wheel bearing hub where locking bolts may not have been fully tightened during assembly, allowing the wheel assembly to shift outward and reduce braking and steering control. The 2018-2019 model years cover a separate issue specific to trucks modified with dual steering: a keystock can work loose from the steering cross shaft and cause sudden loss of right-hand steering. On 2015-2017 models, frame crossmember burrs from the stamping process can break transmission mounting studs, leaving the transmission unsupported and unable to shift correctly. The 2020 model year has a seatbelt recall where the dual-mode locking mechanism on front belts may not properly restrain an occupant in a crash.

The 2011-2018 model years have a recall covering on-board fire extinguishers that may not function correctly, with a narrower overlap affecting 2012-2015 models specifically. The 2019 model year has an odometer display that shows miles traveled but labels them as kilometers, which can delay maintenance intervals. A 2016 model year issue affects trucks with 5.2L diesel engines where tire and load information labels were printed in a way that could be misread, risking overloading or underinflation. The 2007 model year, for trucks equipped with an oil pan heater, has a risk of dust and moisture accumulating at the cord connection point, causing the extension cord to overheat and potentially melt the plug or start a fire.
