## What is wrong

Isuzu Technical Center of America, Inc. \(Isuzu\) is recalling certain 2018\-2021 Isuzu FTR and 2018\-2021 Chevrolet 6500XD vehicles.  A bolt on the left front steering knuckle may come loose, resulting in an increased turning radius and difficulty steering to the left.


## What can happen

An unexpected change in turning radius and difficulty steering can increase the risk of a crash.


## The remedy

Dealers will replace both right and left side stopper bolt jam nuts and clean or replace the extensions, as necessary, free of charge.  Owner notification letters were mailed on February 28, 2022. Owners may contact Isuzu customer service at 1\-866\-441\-9638.  This recall is an expansion of recall 19V\-467.  Vehicles previously repaired will need to have the new remedy performed.
