Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Isuzu is recalling certain 2006-2007 Isuzu NPR, NQR, and NRR vehicles, as well as GMC W3500, W4500, W5500 models and Chevrolet W3500, W4500, and W5500 models. The oil pipe bolts were not properly tightened during manufacturing, which can cause them to loosen during vehicle operation. This loosening may lead to oil leakage from the packing seals. As oil is lost, the oil warning lamp may illuminate, abnormal engine noise may occur, and engine seizure may result. If the engine seizes while driving, the vehicle may suddenly decelerate, increasing the risk of a crash.
Dealers will replace the packing seals and tighten the bolt to the proper specification at no charge. The recall began on January 28, 2011. Affected owners should contact Isuzu at 1-800-255-6727.
