The 2014 Isuzu Reach has 3 recalls, the most serious being two drivetrain issues: a universal joint on the front driveshaft that can fail and detach, cutting drive power, and a rear wheel hub where loose bolts can let the wheel shift outward on the axle, reducing braking performance and vehicle control.
Note that the driveshaft recall only affects vehicles that were fitted with an XL hybrid conversion system after leaving the factory. The third recall involves the brake light switch, which can bend under braking and eventually corrode, leaving the brake lights inoperative and giving drivers behind the vehicle no warning that the truck is slowing down.
