The short version

Isuzu Technical Center of America, Inc. reported a problem with the 12v/24v/48v battery cables. Here is what owners need to know.

WHAT

The positive cable connecting the battery to the starter may be too long and may have been routed too close to the right-side exhaust pipe.

WHY IT MATTERS

Over time, heat from the exhaust pipe may cause the conduit and insulation to deteriorate, exposing the wires, possibly causing a short circuit which could result in a no-start condition or a fire.

WHAT TO DO

Isuzu and Chevrolet will notify their respective vehicle owners and dealers of this recall, and specifically of the need to adjust the positive cable in subject vehicles, and owners will be informed that the recall repairs will be done free of charge.
