Transport Canada recalls

Suspension#2021168March 19, 2021
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.
Brakes#2018183April 13, 2018
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.
