2005–2006 UD UD1800 & 2005–2006 UD UD2000 + 3 more recall: engine
⚠️ What's wrong
On certain medium duty trucks, the exhaust pipe may break at the exhaust brake mounting flange.
💥 The risk
The exhaust brake and muffler assembly could separate from the exhaust pipe and be discharged from under the vehicle in the event that the exhaust pipe cracks completely through while driving. This could occur without warning and potentially cause a crash or impede other vehicles on the highway.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will replace the exhaust pipe on the affected vehicles. The recall began on october 28, 2005. Owners may contact nissan diesel at 1-972-756-5500.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
