Quick answer

CONDITION Isuzu Motors Limited has decided that a defect, which relates to motor vehicle safety, exists in certain 2022MY Isuzu FTR vehicles. The affected FTR vehicles were erroneously built with the 2022 MY FVR (Class 7 truck) transmission, which does not have a parking pawl. When the transmission shift lever is set to the Park "P" position in the PRNDL, there is no parking pawl inside the transmission to engage the Park position. If the parking brake is not applied in this condition, the truck can roll away, which could lead to a crash. CORRECTION An Isuzu dealer will replace the existing transmission with the correct and new 2022MY FTR (Class 6 truck) transmission, which includes the parking pawl. This service will be performed free of charge.

What this bulletin may mean before buying

Treat this as service research, not a verdict on one car. Before you buy, compare this communication with official recall campaigns, model-level owner complaint patterns, and the exact vehicle’s VIN-decoded specifications. A bulletin can help you ask a seller or dealer sharper questions about software updates, known repairs, warranty extensions and service history.
