The 2016 Isuzu Reach has 3 recalls, all carrying the same severity level, with the most serious being a driveshaft joint failure on vehicles fitted with an XL hybrid conversion system that can cause the front driveshaft to detach and cut drive power while moving.
The other two recalls involve the rear axle and suspension. Loose rear wheel bearing hub bolts can let the wheel assembly shift outward on the axle, reducing braking performance and steering response. Separately at the rear, U-bolt nuts securing the axle may also be loose, allowing the axle to shift out of alignment until the propeller shaft separates, stalling the vehicle.
