Isuzu NPR HD Recall 16V105: Wrong tire and load labels could lead to overloading

NHTSA campaign 16V105, reported February 24, 2016, 21 vehicles potentially affected.

What this recall means for you

The certification label on certain 2016 Isuzu NPR-HD, NPR-XD, NQR and NRR trucks built between July 3 and September 2, 2015, with 5.2L diesel engines may contain typographical errors in the rim size, tire pressure and weight information. Because the label may not be readable or accurate, an owner may not be able to correctly determine the load limit or the proper tire inflation for the vehicle.

If the rim size, tire pressure and weight information cannot be referenced and understood, the owner may overload the vehicle or underinflate the tires. These conditions may increase the risk of a crash.

Isuzu will provide owners with a corrected certification label at no cost. Owners can contact Isuzu customer service at 1-866-441-9638, and you can check your VIN for open recalls to confirm whether your truck is included.
