What happened

Isuzu is recalling certain model year 2001-2013 Isuzu N-Series trucks, model year 2001-2010 Chevrolet and GMC W-Series trucks, model year 2001-2004 Isuzu FRR trucks, and model year 2001-2004 Chevrolet and GMC WT5500 trucks equipped with an optional oil pan heater. Debris can collect where the heater plug connects to the extension cord, causing the cord to overheat, which could melt the oil pan heater plug and/or block heater plug and increase the risk of fire.

Isuzu will notify owners and dealers will inspect the affected trucks at no cost to the owner. The extension cord and any damaged components will be replaced free of charge. The recall began on August 30, 2013. Owners of affected vehicles should contact Isuzu at 1-866-441-9638 to arrange an inspection and replacement.
