The 2018 Isuzu NRR has 3 recalls, the most serious involving two separate issues that can cause a loss of vehicle control: a steering defect on dual-steering-modified trucks where a component can dislodge and eliminate right-hand steering, and a rear axle U-bolt that can loosen and allow the driveshaft to separate, cutting power to the rear wheels and stalling the truck.
The third recall concerns the on-board fire extinguisher, which may not function properly if needed, reducing the ability to suppress a fire.
