Recalls, owner-reported complaints, investigations and safety data

Data refreshed

Owner complaintsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

Safety recallsA safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
0
InvestigationsNHTSA opens an investigation to examine whether a safety defect may exist. An open investigation is not a determination that a defect exists, and many investigations close without a recall. Investigations can, however, lead to one.
1
Crash or fire reportedComplaints whose submitter recorded that a crash or a fire occurred. These are the reporter's own answers on the NHTSA form, not verified findings.

EQUIPMENT:OTHER:OWNERS/SERVICE/OTHER MANUAL

This bulletin provides instructions with regard to the Isuzu Commercial Vehicle (CV) Warranty Parts Center on the topics of parts retention, parts preparation for shipping, and administration. NOTE: Effective June 1, 2021, dealers/service centers must return parts requested by Isuzu to the CV Warranty Parts Center using the prepaid shipping labels provided by Isuzu. See the Freight Reimbursement section for details. The CV Warranty Parts Center process is used to obtain parts replaced by Isuzu Dealerships and Isuzu Engine Certified Service Centers (excluding Canada) to enable Isuzu to perform root cause analysis of customer product concerns. The CV Warranty Parts Center issues part return requests to the dealerships/service centeres to obtain the desired parts. Dealers/service centers must return the requested parts to the CV Warranty Parts Center so that it is received within 20 days of notification of the request. Failure to comply with the request may result in partial or complete chargeback of the claim associated with the request. Chargebacks for non-returned parts are processed automatically by the CV Warranty Parts Center computer systems. To ensure compliance with these requirements and avoid a chargeback situation, it is highly recommended that an individual (and a back-up person) be assigned the task of processing these requests as quickly as possible.
