The 2015 Isuzu Reach has 3 recalls, all rated at the same severity level, with the most serious risks involving wheel or driveshaft components that can separate from the vehicle while driving, raising the risk of a crash.
On the axle side, the left rear wheel bearing hub locking bolts may not have been fully tightened at the factory, allowing the wheel assembly to shift outward from the axle housing. When that happens, the driver loses some steering control and braking performance drops. A separate suspension concern involves the U-bolt nuts that clamp the rear axle to the leaf springs: if those nuts are loose, the axle can shift out of alignment, which can cause the rear driveshaft to separate and cut power to the rear wheels, potentially stalling the truck. On vehicles that have been converted to XL's electric hybrid system, there is an additional driveline concern: the universal joint on the front driveshaft can fail and allow the front driveshaft to detach entirely, causing an immediate loss of drive power.
