2009 GMC W3500 recalls
Vehicle speed control: accelerator pedal
NHTSA campaign 17V324000 · reported May 17, 2017 · Isuzu Technical Center of America, Inc. · 14,807 vehicles potentially affected
The problem
Isuzu Technical Center of America, Inc. (Isuzu) is recalling certain model year 2008-2009 and 2012-2013 Isuzu NPR and NPR HD vehicles and 2008-2009 GMC W3500 and GMC W4500 vehicles. The affected vehicles, equipped with a gasoline-powered engine, have a throttle pedal that may get stuck under the steel stopper bolt, causing the pedal to remain in the full throttle position.
The risk
A stuck open accelerator pedal may result in very high vehicle speeds and make it difficult to stop the vehicle, which could cause a crash, serious injury or death.
The fix
Isuzu will notify owners, and dealers will remove and replace the stopper bolt with a flanged plate, to prevent lateral movement of the throttle, free of charge. The recall began on June 23, 2017. Owners may contact Isuzu customer service at 1-866-441-9638.
Power train: driveline, driveshaft
NHTSA campaign 09V042000 · reported February 4, 2009 · ISUZU MANUFACTURING SERVICES OF AMERICA · 2,836 vehicles potentially affected

The propeller shaft was manufactured with insufficient high frequency heat treatment. As a result, the affected portion of the propeller shaft may not maintain its durability through the expected vehicle useful life.
