- Published by: NHTSA \(United States\)
- Campaign number: 19V098000
- Manufacturer: XL Hybrids INC
- Reported: 2019\-02\-21
- Owners notified: 2019\-04\-17

- Units potentially affected: 94

## What is wrong

XL Hybrids Inc. \(XL\) is recalling certain 2013\-2018 Isuzu Reach vehicles modified to be equipped with XL's electric hybrid system.  The cardan \(universal\) joint on the front driveshaft may fail, possibly causing the front driveshaft to detach.


## What can happen

If the front driveshaft detaches from the vehicle, drive power will be lost, increasing the risk of a crash.  The detached driveshaft may also create a road hazard, increasing the risk of a crash for following traffic.


## The remedy

XL will notify owners, and dealers will replace the front driveshaft with an updated one, free of charge.  The manufacturer has not yet provided a notification schedule.  Owners may contact XL customer service at 1\-866\-414\-3212.


## Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1\-888\-327\-4236 \(TTY 1\-800\-424\-9153\), or go to www.safercar.gov.
