What is wrong
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.
What can happen
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.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
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.

A recall means the maker found a safety problem and offers a free fix; it does not mean every unit has the problem. Units affected are as reported by the company. Popular models sell more and so have more recalls and complaints. Official public data; texts are shortened. A dealer can tell whether a single vehicle still needs the repair.
