Isuzu Motors Limited is recalling 38 units of the 2025 FTR model because the steering tie rod assemblies may have been manufactured with incorrectly heat-treated ball studs. These ball studs can break without warning, causing the tie rod to fail and leading to a complete loss of vehicle steering control. All affected vehicles are currently in dealer inventory, but owners of these specific 2025 models should verify their vehicle's status to ensure they are not at risk. Isuzu dealers will inspect and replace the tie rod and center link assembly as necessary at no cost to owners.
The incorrectly heat-treated ball studs are prone to breaking during operation. If a ball stud breaks, the tie rod will fail, resulting in a sudden loss of steering control and significantly increasing the risk of a crash.
