Summary:
XL Hybrids Inc. "XL" is recalling certain 2013-2018 Isuzu Reach vehicles modified to be equipped with XL's electric hybrid system. The cardan "universal" joint on the front driveshaft may fail, possibly causing the front driveshaft to detach. |
||
|
Consequence:
If the front driveshaft detaches from the vehicle, drive power will be lost, increasing the risk of a crash. The detached driveshaft may also create a road hazard, increasing the risk of a crash for following traffic. |
||
|
Remedy:
XL will notify owners, and dealers will replace the front driveshaft with an updated one, free of charge. The manufacturer has not yet provided a notification schedule. Owners may contact XL customer service at 1-866-414-3212. |
