Problem: Izusu is recalling 2,836 my 2008-2009 npr/nqr and nrr, gmc w3500, 4500 and 5500, chevrolet w3500, 4500 and 5500 trucks. The propeller shaft was manufactured with insufficient high frequency heat treatment. As a result, the affected portion of the propeller shaft may not maintain its durability through the expected vehicle useful life.
Risk: The propeller shaft could break off while the vehicle is being driving, which would result in the vehicle stalling and coasting to a stop, or loss of vehicle control which could result in a crash.
Fix: Dealers will replace the propeller shaft free of charge. The recall began on march 5, 2009. Owners may contact isuzu at 1-866-441-9638.
