Isuzu Lug Nuts: Prevent a Pit Stop Nightmare

Here are a few things to consider for lug nut safety on Isuzu cars:

• Use the correct lug nuts for your car: Look at your owner's manual to find the right size and type of lug nut for your specific Isuzu model.
• Tighten them to the proper torque: Over-tightening or under-tightening lug nuts can damage the threads or cause the wheel to come loose. A torque wrench is the most accurate way to tighten lug nuts. The torque specification for your Isuzu will be in the owner's manual.
• Re-torque after 50 miles: New lug nuts can stretch a bit after they are first tightened. It's a good idea to re-torque the lug nuts after driving 50 miles or so.
• Inspect them regularly: Look for any sign of damage, corrosion, or wear on the lug nuts. Replace any damaged lug nuts immediately.

Here are some additional safety tips:

• Use wheel locks: Wheel locks can help to deter theft. Just make sure you don't lose the key.
• Be careful when buying aftermarket lug nuts: There are some aftermarket lug nuts may not be strong enough or may not fit properly.

Isuzu had a recall on certain NPR, NQR, and NRR models from 2017 to 2020 for improperly tightened lug nuts [1]. You can check if your vehicle is included in this recall by visiting the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration website at nhtsa.gov/vehicle.
