2007 UD UD3300 recalls 6
Recall repairs are free. Your dealer fixes them whether or not you bought the car there - check your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see if yours is done. What to do
- The problem
- Nissan diesel is recalling certain model year 1999-2010 ud3300 vehicles. These vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 121, "Air brake systems." The brake actuation and release timing of the air brake system on these vehicles may not perform correctly.
- The risk
- Operation of a vehicle with incorrect air brake apply/release timing may result in reduced braking performance without warning to the vehicle operator, which could result in a vehicle crash.
- The fix
- The air brake line will be modified. Dealers will inspect and repair vehicles at no charge. The safety recall for owners of 2008 through 2010 ud3300 vehicles began on august 20, 2010. Notification to owners of the 1999 through 2007 ud3300 vehicles is expected to begin at the end of january 2011. Owners may contact nissan diesel at 1-972-756-5500.
- The problem
- Nissan diesel is recalling certain model year 2007 and 2008 ud3300 vehicles that were modified by installing dual steering controls for use as street sweepers. These vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 121, "Air brake systems." Brake recertification was not performed on these vehicles during modification of the dual steering system.
- The risk
- Operation of a vehicle with incorrect air brake apply/release timing may result in reduced braking performance which could result in a vehicle crash without prior warning to the vehicle operator.
- The fix
- Dealers will inspect and replace the necessary components free of charge. The safety recall is expected to begin on or before february 15, 2010. Owners may contact nissan diesel at 1-972-756-5500.
- The problem
- Nissan diesel is recalling certain model year 2007-2008 ud3300 vehicles that were modified by installing dual steering controls for use as street sweepers. The right side steering drag link may have been installed incorrectly.
- The risk
- Incorrect installation of the right side steering drag link and/or improper adjustment of the steering stops could allow the tire to contact the right side steering drag link during a full left turn. Continued operation with the right front tire contacting the right side steering drag link may result in structural weakening and bending of the drag link. This could result in a loss of steering control and/or cause a vehicle crash without warning to the vehicle operator.
- The fix
- Dealers will reinstall the right side steering drag link and the steering stop adjustment will be adjusted free of charge. The recall is expected to begin on or before october 12, 2009. Owners may contact nissan diesel at 972-756-5500.
- The problem
- On certain trucks equipped with bando belt tensioner, corrosion or rust may develop on the tensioner spindle or bushing causing the auto tensioner to become stiff or bind. This can cause the drive belt to suddenly come off, or the auto tensioner mounting bolts could suddenly break.
- The risk
- If the drive belt comes off, the alternator warning lamp will illuminate. If the warning is ignored, this condition could ultimately result in a loss of vehicle power (engine stall) increasing the risk of a crash.
- The fix
- Dealers will replace the auto tensioner, install upgraded mounting bolts, and replace the accessory drive belt free of charge. The recall began on august 24, 2007. Owners may contact nissan diesel at 972-756-5523. Note: this recall will supersede nissan diesel's previous campaign (please see 06v159).
- The problem
- Certain medium duty trucks equipped with the allison series 2500 automatic transmission do not have a park position available inside the automatic transmission. These vehicles may have been assembled with an automatic transmission shift lever control assembly indicating a park position is available for selection by the vehicle operator.
- The risk
- This may mislead the vehicle operator into placing the shift lever into the indicated park position and exiting the vehicle without applying the parking brake. This could cause unexpected or uncontrolled movement of the vehicle without prior warning which may result in vehicle crash.
- The fix
- Dealers will inspect and replace free of charge the shift assembly if it indicates the incorrect park position. The recall is expected to begin on or about january 26, 2007. Owners may contact nissan diesel at 972-756-5500.
