- The problem
- Isuzu is recalling certain model year 2006-2007 isuzu npr, nqr, nrr, gmc w3500, w4500, w5500, and chevrolet w3500, w4500, and w5500 vehicles.

- The fix
- Dealers will replace the packing seals with new ones and the bolt will be tightened with a specified torque. This service will be performed free of charge. The safety recall began on january 28, 2011. Owners may contact isuzu at 1-800-255-6727.
