Transport Canada recalls
12- Electrical#2026386
3,800 units affected
Issue: On certain trucks, the chassis and cab wiring harnesses may not have been routed properly. As result, the wiring could become damaged by contact with nearby components and cause a short circuit. If this happens, there could be a loss of power to the wheels, the electronic parking brake could stop working, the tail lamps may not work, the airbag warning light may turn on, transmission shifting issues could occur, or the combination switch may not work. Note: This recall replaces Transport Canada recall no. 2026-158. Trucks that were repaired under that recall also require this repair. Safety Risk: A short circuit can create the risk of a fire. A loss of power to the wheels and the other issues could increase the risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: Isuzu will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your truck to a dealership to inspect and, if necessary, repair or replace the wiring harnesses. The dealer will also ensure that the wiring harnesses are secured properly.

- Electrical#2023444
659 units affected
Issue: On certain trucks, the seal on the fuse holders for the ignition coil packs may be too small. As a result, water could leak into the fuses and cause them to corrode or fail. If this happens, the engine may not start or it could lose power suddenly while driving. Note: This problem only affects trucks with a gasoline engine. Safety Risk: A sudden loss of engine power could increase the risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: Isuzu will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your truck to a dealership to replace the engine ignition coil pack fuse holders.
- Suspension#2021168
14 units affected
Issue: On certain trucks, the U-bolts that attach the rear axle to the suspension may not be properly tightened. As a result, the axle could slide back and separate from the propeller shaft. If this happens, there could be a sudden loss of power to the wheels. Safety Risk: A loss of power to the wheels could increase the risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: Isuzu will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your truck to a dealer to inspect and, if necessary, replace and tighten the rear axle U-bolt nuts.
- Wheels#2019586
451 units affected
Issue: On certain trucks, the lug nuts on the rear-outer wheels were not properly tightened during assembly. This could cause the nuts to loosen or fall off, and could result in a wheel separating from the vehicle. Safety Risk: A wheel separation could increase the risk of a crash. A wheel that detaches from a vehicle could create a hazard for other drivers and nearby people. Corrective Actions: Isuzu will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your truck to a dealer to inspect the rear-outer wheel lug nuts and tighten them or install new ones, as necessary.
- Lights And Instruments#2019052
22 units affected
Issue: On certain vehicles, the odometer display may show the units of distance as miles instead of kilometers. The actual number display is in kilometers. Safety Risk: While the safety risk is minimal, Canadian regulations require that kilometers are displayed. Corrective Actions: The company will send a letter to owners. The letter will ask them to inspect the odometer. If kilometers are displayed, the customer should tell Isuzu and no other action is needed. If miles are displayed, the owner should take their vehicle to a dealer to have the instrument cluster replaced. The new odometer will be programmed to show the number of kilometers traveled.
- Brakes#2018183
10 units affected
On certain vehicles equipped with diesel engines, the brake switch retaining tab may not have been fully secured into the steel brake pedal assembly bracket, and could allow for the switch and retainer to detach from the bracket. If this were to occur, it could cause the brake lights to illuminate whether the brake pedal is depressed or not, and restrict the ability to move the shifter out of Park. Additionally, the accelerator pedal input would also be disabled, which would result in a loss of motive power. These conditions could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will inspect the retainer to ensure that it is properly seated and will repair as necessary.
- Suspension#2017173
4,539 units affected
On certain vehicles, the left rear wheel bearing hub locking bolts may not have been properly torqued during assembly. This could cause the bolts to loosen and break, which could allow the wheel assembly to move outwards from the axle housing. If this occurs, the vehicle could become more difficult to control and braking distances would increase which could result in a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will inspect and tighten the rear left wheel bearing hub locking bolts as necessary.
- Powertrain#2017088
1,308 units affected
On certain vehicles, a burr could impede contact between the transmission mounting bracket and the chassis cross member. This could cause the fasteners to shear or break, allowing the transmission to move out of position and impair or prevent shifting, increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will inspect the bolted connection and install a shim if necessary.
- Powertrain#2016545
873 units affected
On certain vehicles with gasoline powered engines, the accelerator pedal could move laterally, allowing the accelerator pedal bracket to be hung up on the stopper bolt on the floor panel bracket. This would cause the accelerator pedal to remain in the open position, increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will remove and replace the stopper bolt with a flanged plate that will be bolted to the floor bracket to prevent lateral movement of the accelerator pedal.
- Powertrain#2013408
67 units affected
Certain trucks equipped with an automatic transmission could experience a sudden transmission failure. This would result in a loss of vehicle propulsion which, in conjunction with traffic and road conditions, and the driver’s reactions, could increase the risk of a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will replace the transmission assembly. Note: This is an expansion of recall 2013-165 for vehicles not previously included in the campaign.
- Electrical#2013212
743 units affected
On certain vehicles equipped with an oil pan heater, over time, dust, dirt and moisture may collect at the contact point between the oil pan heater cord and the extension cord. As a result, the extension cord could overheat, which may melt the oil pan heater plug and/or block heater plug (if equipped). This could result in a fire causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will inspect and clean the oil pan heater plug and the engine block heater plug (if equipped). Heat damaged plugs will be replaced. In addition, dealers will replace the extension cord and advise owners to store the cord indoors when not in use.
