What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

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.

The risk

INCORRECT LENGTH OF AIR BRAKE HOSE WILL INCREASE THE RISK OF A CRASH.

The remedy

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.

A safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
