  • Brand CHEVROLET

Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.

What happened

Isuzu is recalling certain 2020 NPR-HD Crew Cab and Chevrolet 4500 Crew Cab vehicles equipped with 6.6L gasoline engines. The chassis harness and coolant return hose (surge hose) from the radiator to the reservoir may chafe against each other. Over time, this chafing can wear through the hose, potentially causing engine coolant to leak, and/or damage the harness, potentially causing an electrical short circuit. These problems could result in a no-start condition, engine stall, or electrical short, which increases the risk of a crash or fire.

Isuzu and Chevrolet will notify owners and dealers that the positive cable in affected vehicles needs to be adjusted and that recall repairs will be performed free of charge. The recall began December 11, 2020. Isuzu owners may contact Isuzu Customer Relations at 1-866-441-9638 (recall number V2006), and Chevrolet owners may contact the GM Medium Duty Truck assistance line at 1-800-862-4389 for more information.
