Defect. NISSAN DIESEL IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2007-2008 UD3300 VEHICLES THAT WERE MODIFIED BY INSTALLING DUAL STEERING CONTROLS FOR USE AS STREET SWEEPERS. THE RIGHT SIDE STEERING DRAG LINK MAY HAVE BEEN INSTALLED INCORRECTLY.
Risk.

THIS COULD RESULT IN A LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL AND/OR CAUSE A VEHICLE CRASH WITHOUT WARNING TO THE VEHICLE OPERATOR.
Remedy. DEALERS WILL REINSTALL THE RIGHT SIDE STEERING DRAG LINK AND THE STEERING STOP ADJUSTMENT WILL BE ADJUSTED FREE OF CHARGE. THE RECALL IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN ON OR BEFORE OCTOBER 12, 2009. OWNERS MAY CONTACT NISSAN DIESEL AT 972-756-5500.

Defect. ON CERTAIN TRUCKS EQUIPPED WITH BANDO BELT TENSIONER, CORROSION OR RUST MAY DEVELOP ON THE TENSIONER SPINDLE OR BUSHING CAUSING THE AUTO TENSIONER TO BECOME STIFF OR BIND. THIS CAN CAUSE THE DRIVE BELT TO SUDDENLY COME OFF, OR THE AUTO TENSIONER MOUNTING BOLTS COULD SUDDENLY BREAK.

Filed Dec 4, 2006133 vehiclesNissan Diesel America, Inc
Defect. CERTAIN MEDIUM DUTY TRUCKS EQUIPPED WITH THE ALLISON SERIES 2500 AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION DO NOT HAVE A PARK POSITION AVAILABLE INSIDE THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION.

No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.
Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
Recall repairs are free for as long as the recall stands. Check whether a specific car still has open work at NHTSA's VIN lookup.
