What is wrong
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.

What can happen
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.
