The defect
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.
The risk
THIS MAY RESULT IN REDUCED BRAKING PERFORMANCE WHICH COULD RESULT IN A VEHICLE CRASH WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING TO THE VEHICLE OPERATOR.
The remedy
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 SAFETY RECALL FOR OWNERS OF 2008 THROUGH 2010 UD3300 VEHICLES BEGAN ON AUGUST 20, 2010.

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.
