If the studs break, the transmission may not be properly supported, preventing it from shifting correctly and increasing the risk of a crash.
What the manufacturer will do
Isuzu will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the vehicles and install a metal shim to prevent stress on the mounting studs, free of charge. The recall on April 17, 2017. Owners may contact Isuzu customer service at 1-866-441-9638.
