What this page shows
Everything below is an owner-reported complaint submitted to NHTSA about the 2016 Isuzu Npr Hd, grouped by the component NHTSA recorded on the report. These are not confirmed defects, and they are not recalls. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a category with more reports in it is not evidence that a part is defective.
Complaints are reports submitted by owners and drivers to NHTSA. They are not verified and do not establish that a defect exists.

From owner reports, verbatim
MY SIX-YEAR-OLD ISUZU TRUCKS GAS TANK STARTED TO LEAK WHILE IT WAS PARKED IN A HEATED GARAGE. THE FUMES IN THE MORNING WERE VERY STRONG AND I VENTED THE AREA PRIOR TO FEELING IT SAFE TO START THE TRUCK. THIS TRUCK HAS THE SAME GAS TANK THAT WAS IN THE 2008 ISUZU TRUCK THAT I HAD AND IT HAD A RECALL ON THE TANK. WOULD YOU LOOK INTO THIS HAZARDOUS SITUATION AND SEND ME YOUR RESULTS. THE VIN NUMBER IS-------------------------------- THE REPAIRS COST ME THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS BUT KNOW ONE AND NOTHING ELSE GOT HURT
