What this recall means for you
Some 2018-2019 medium-duty trucks may not give the driver an adequate warning to lock the cab tilt-lock after servicing. If the cab tilt-lock is not engaged, the cab can tilt forward while the vehicle is being driven.
A cab that tilts forward during driving can increase the risk of a crash or injury. Owners should make sure the cab tilt-lock is fully engaged after any service that requires tilting the cab, and should not drive the vehicle if the cab is not securely locked.
The remedy is free: dealers will install an extension to the locking lever to make it more visible to the operator. Owners can contact Isuzu customer service at 1-866-441-9638 (Isuzu recall number V1803), and should check their VIN for open recalls.
