CUSTOMER SATISFACTION CAMPAIGN
This notice applies to your vehicle,

MAY, 2016
Dear Customer,
The purpose of this notice is to inform you that Isuzu Commercial Truck of America is conducting a
customer satisfaction campaign that affects some 2012-2016MY Isuzu Stripped Chassis (Reach Vans)
and 2011-2016MY NPR-HD trucks equipped with a diesel engine. 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.
REIMBURSEMENT
The enclosed Reimbursement Claim Form explains what reimbursement is available and how to request
reimbursement if you have paid for a repair as a result of front wheel bearing grease degradation.
Requests for reimbursement may include parts, labor, fees, and taxes. Reimbursement may be limited to
the amount the repair would have cost if completed by an authorized Isuzu dealer. Wheel bearing
maintenance will not be reimbursed. Please follow the instructions on the Reimbursement Claim Form
