Isuzu FTR Recalls (2018-2026)
The Isuzu FTR has been the subject of 13 recall campaigns on record with NHTSA across the 2018 to 2026 model years. They cluster mostly around the electrical system, steering, and fuel system.
The Isuzu FTR scores 28 out of 100 (grade D), a busier recall record than most. That score reflects how serious the recalls are rather than how many. 92% involve a critical safety system, none carried a do-not-drive warning, and 31% were issued in the last three years. How the score works.
Those 13 campaigns span 9 model years of the Isuzu FTR. The single largest affected 17,084 vehicles, over suspension. A recall repair is free at a franchised dealer and most never expire, so an older open recall is still worth fixing. Beyond recalls, you can also see the most common FTR problems owners report.
The full record is below, grouped first by model year and then listed in detail. Each entry gives the defect NHTSA describes, the safety risk it creates, the manufacturer's remedy, the number of vehicles in that campaign, and the dates. A recall covers a whole production run, so a campaign listed for the Isuzu FTR may not apply to your exact vehicle, and one you have already had repaired will still appear in the history. To see what is actually open and unfixed on a specific car, check its 17-digit VIN.
