The problem
Isuzu Motors Limited (Isuzu) is recalling certain 2022 FTR vehicles equipped with Allison 2500RDS (FVR) transmissions. The transmission is missing the parking pawl.
The risk
There is no pawl to engage when the transmission shift lever is set to the park position, which could lead to the truck rolling away, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
Dealers will replace the 2500RDS (FVR) transmission with a 2550RDS (FTR) transmission, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed on August 12, 2022. Owners may contact Isuzu's customer service at 1-866-441-9638. Isuzu's number for this recall is V2203.
