Your [Year] model year Isuzu [Vehicle_Series], VIN [VIN], is involved in this campaign. CONDITION In some 2012-2016MY Isuzu Stripped Chassis (Reach Vans) and 2011-2016MY NPR-HD diesel trucks, the original factory-installed grease in the front wheel bearings may degrade under certain circumstances. If left unattended, the front wheel bearings could eventually seize or loosen. Typically this condition is preceded by a loud noise and can be avoided with timely servicing of the front wheel bearings. FRONT WHEEL BEARING SERVICE SCHEDULE REMINDER As noted in the Owner’s Manual, the scheduled maintenance for the front wheel bearing assembly in your vehicle is every 30,000 miles or 24 months, whichever occurs first. WHAT WE WILL DO If your vehicle has 60,000 miles or less, Isuzu will replace the front wheel bearing grease. The front wheel bearings will also be inspected and, if they are found to have been damaged due to grease degradation, they will be replaced. This inspection and replacement will be performed one time up to 60,000 miles free of charge. This free of charge service will be discontinued 24 months from the date of this notification. WHAT YOU SHOULD DO Check the mileage on your vehicle. If your vehicle has 60,000 miles or less, we recommend you contact your Isuzu dealer as soon as possible and schedule an appointment to bring your vehicle in to have this service performed. Present this Owner Notification Letter at the time of your appointment or refer to customer satisfaction campaign bulletin CB16-E-001. Isuzu estimates the inspection and service will take approximately 2 hours. If the front wheel bearings require replacement, an additional 0.2 hours will be required. Additional time may be necessary depending on how appointments are scheduled and processed at your dealership. To locate your nearest dealer please use the dealer locator on our website at www.isuzucv.com. If your vehicle has over 60,000 miles and the front wheel bearings have not been serviced or you do not know if they have been serviced, we recommend that you contact your dealer to arrange for servicing of your front wheel bearings at your expense.
