What is wrong
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.
What can happen
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.
The remedy
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.
