What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

UD Trucks Corporation (UD) is recalling one Hino Motors engine, model J08EUJ, sold as a replacement engine for a 2008 UD1800 HD truck. This engine has wrist pin bushings in the connecting rods that may shift and cause excessive cylinder wear.

The risk

Excessive wear of the cylinders can result in engine failure, increasing the risk of a crash.

The remedy

UD will notify the owner, and a dealer will inspect the stampings on the connecting rods, replacing them as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on December 20, 2017. Owners may contact UD customer service at 1-336-291-5237.

Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.

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.
