The 2019 Isuzu NRR has 4 recalls, the most serious involving rear wheels that can separate from the vehicle and a rear axle that can shift out of alignment, either of which can cause a loss of control.
The wheel separation issue stems from rear outer lug nuts that may not have been properly torqued at the factory, allowing them to work loose over time until a wheel detaches entirely. The rear axle concern involves U-bolt nuts that can also loosen, letting the axle shift out of position. When the axle misaligns far enough, the driveshaft can separate from it, cutting power to the rear wheels and stalling the truck while in motion. There is also a steering recall, but it applies only to vehicles that were aftermarket-modified with a dual steering setup: a small metal key that locks the steering cross shaft in place can come free, causing sudden and unexpected loss of steering on the right-hand side. On the electrical side, the instrument cluster displays the odometer reading in kilometers rather than miles, which means a driver checking mileage for scheduled maintenance intervals could underestimate how far the truck has actually traveled and delay service that keeps the vehicle safe to operate.
