Defect
Isuzu Technical Center of America, Inc. (Isuzu) is recalling certain 2018 Isuzu NPR and 2019 Isuzu NPR-HD and NPR-XD vehicles. These vehicles have a brake switch and nylon retainer that may not have been properly secured into the steel brake pedal assembly bracket.
Safety risk
If the brake switch and nylon retainer are not properly secured, the switch can detach from the bracket causing the brake lights to illuminate whether or not brake pedal is depressed, the shift interlock will not operate and the accelerator pedal input will be disabled resulting in the inability to accelerate. These conditions can increase the risk of a crash.
Remedy
Isuzu has notified owners, and dealers will inspect the seating of the retainer, and re-seat the retainer clip or replace the retainer clip, if necessary, free of charge. The recall began on April 24, 2018. Owners may contact Isuzu customer service at 1-866-441-9638. Isuzu's number for this recall is V1801.
