ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:ENGINE CONTROL MODULE (ECU/ECM):SOFTWARE
- The defect
- Isuzu Motors Limited (Isuzu) is recalling certain 2022 FTR and FVR trucks. A programming error in the ECM software calibration, resulted in the vehicles not having engine braking functionality.
- What it can cause
- Without engine braking, a driver may experience longer stopping distances than expected, increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will reprogram the ECM with the corrected calibration, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed on September 1, 2022. Owners may contact Isuzu's customer service at 1-866- 441-9638. Isuzu's number for this recall is V2204.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .

How this campaign compares
At 11 vehicles this is a small campaign: 91% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published are as large or larger. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers one model year, 2022, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2022, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
Isuzu vehicles have been recalled over the engine and engine cooling 2 times before this, most recently in December 2010 as 10V636000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 5 other recalls published here, the newest being: 25V719000 (suspension), 25V630000 (fuel system, other), 24V157000 (forward collision avoidance), 22V497000 (power train).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Isuzu Motors Limited with NHTSA on July 15, 2022 as campaign 22V508000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
