What's wrong?
The transmission mount on 2015-2017 Isuzu Nrr, Nqr, Npr Xd, and Npr Hd trucks attaches the transmission to a frame crossmember, a structural beam under the truck. The mounting studs are threaded fasteners that hold that assembly tight so the transmission stays aligned while the truck accelerates, shifts, and carries load.
On affected trucks, the frame crossmember was stamped with burrs, which are sharp raised edges left on the metal during manufacturing. Those burrs press against the transmission mounting studs and create stress in the fasteners. Over time, that stress fatigue can break the studs, letting the transmission drop from its normal mounted position and contact nearby underbody parts.
The warning signs are noticeable once the stud bolts break. The driver will feel a jolt when the transmission drops, then hear substantial noise if it contacts surrounding parts. The truck can become harder to shift, and the engine can de-rate, while vehicle controllability is not affected.

The year and model narrow the scope, but the VIN decides. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific truck is included.
What's the safety risk?
If the mounting studs break, the transmission can drop, shift incorrectly, and raise crash risk. A jolt, substantial underbody noise, harder shifting, or engine de-rating means stop in a safe place and arrange service or towing. Controllability is not affected. Repair is free at any franchised Isuzu dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2015-2017 Isuzu Nrr, Nqr, Npr Xd, or Npr Hd truck is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Isuzu dealer to schedule the free frame-crossmember inspection and metal-shim installation that protects the transmission mounting studs.
- Reference recall number 17V105 when you call, and ask the dealer about driving precautions if the truck does not shift correctly.
- Bring the owner letter if Isuzu mailed one, or give the service desk recall number 17V105 at check-in.
- Avoid driving the truck if it does not shift correctly before the repair; call the dealer for instructions.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, an Isuzu technician inspects the truck and installs a metal shim at the transmission crossmember area to reduce stress on the mounting studs. The recall repair is free, with parts and labor covered. Isuzu has a general reimbursement plan on file for eligible owner-paid repairs before the recall notice. If you already paid for a related repair, ask the service desk how to submit documentation under that plan.
