JANUARY 2010 - 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. 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 air brake line will be modified. Dealers will inspect and repair vehicles at no charge. The manufacturer has not yet provided the agency with a notification schedule. 10V-005

JANUARY 2010 - 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." These vehicles have insufficient air tank reserve capacity and may result in insufficient air supply to properly operate the brakes during repetitive brake applications. This may result in reduced braking performance which could result in a vehicle crash without prior warning to the vehicle operator. The air reservoir tank's volume will be increased to meet FMVSS 121 requirements. Owners will be asked to bring their vehicles to a dealer to have the remedy performed free of charge. The manufacturer has not yet provided a notification schedule. 10V-006

DECEMBER 2009 - 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. 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. 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.  09V-487

AUGUST 2009 -- 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. 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. 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.  09V-337

APRIL 2009 -- Nissan Diesel is recalling 10 MY 2008 UD3300 trucks equipped with Arvin Meritor 2-speed rear axle. The length of the air brake hose installed between the relay valve and quick release valve for the left rear air brake assembly is incorrect and may increase the resistance in the air supply. Incorrect length of air brake hose will increase the risk of a crash. Dealers will have the air brake hose replaced between the relay valve and the quick release valve with the correct length hose free of charge. The recall is expected to begin on or before May 4, 2009. Owners may contact Nissan diesel at 972-756-5500.  09V-111

NOVEMBER 2008 -- Nissan Diesel is recalling 549 MY 2008 UD1800, UD2000, UD2300, UD2600, and UD3300 medium duty trucks. A failure of the fuel injection pump drive coupler can occur. The bottom corner of the notched drive surface was improperly machined. With increased fuel pump pressure, the required turning torque on the drive coupler increased. The increased turning torque could crack the coupler at the bottom corner without warning under normal vehicle operation. Continued operation with a cracked drive coupler could result in the coupler becoming broken and causing the engine to stall and not restart, increasing the risk of a crash. Dealers will replace the fuel injection pump drive coupler. The manufacturer has not yet provided an owner notification schedule for this campaign. Owners may contact Nissan Diesel at 1-972-756-5500. 08V-617
