Defect. UD Trucks is recalling certain model year 2011-2013 UD2600 and UD3300 trucks equipped with Allison 3000RDS automatic transmissions. The oil cooler hose clamp retaining rings may fail.

Risk. If the retaining ring fails, the oil cooler hose may leak, leaving a large deposit on the roadway, which may present a hazard to other vehicles. If any of the oil sprays onto hot engine components, there would be an increased risk of a vehicle fire.

Remedy. UD Trucks will notify owners, and dealers will replace the affected hoses free of charge. The manufacturer has not yet provided a notification schedule. Owners may contact UD Trucks at 1-800-832-5929.

Defect. UD TRUCKS IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2011 UD1800, UD2000, UD2300, UD2600, AND UD3300 MEDIUM DUTY TRUCKS MANUFACTURED FROM JULY 22, 2010 THROUGH NOVEMBER 29, 2010. THE VISUAL OPTICAL AIMING HEADLAMPS AND THE LOW BEAM HORIZONTAL ADJUSTMENT MECHANISM WERE NOT ADEQUATELY SECURED TO PREVENT ADJUSTMENT AFTER MANUFACTURE. THEREFORE, THESE VEHICLES FAIL TO COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 108, "LAMPS, REFLECTIVE DEVICES, AND ASSOCIATED EQUIPMENT."

Risk. IMPROPER ADJUSTMENTS TO THE HEADLAMPS OR THE LOW BEAM ADJUSTMENT MECHANISM MAY RESULT IN HEADLAMP LIGHTING THAT DOES NOT FULLY ILLUMINATE THE ROAD SURFACE OR MAY INHIBIT THE ABILITY OF MOTORISTS TO SEE VEHICLES WHICH CAN INCREASE THE RISK OF A CRASH.

Remedy. DEALERS WILL MAKE SURE ALL VEHICLES WILL HAVE A PREVENTION CAP INSTALLED OVER THE LOW BEAM HORIZONTAL HEADLAMP ADJUSTMENT MECHANISM TO PREVENT ADJUSTMENT. THIS SERVICE WILL BE PERFORMED FREE OF CHARGE. THE SAFETY RECALL BEGAN ON APRIL 18, 2011. OWNER MAY CONTACT UD TRUCKS AT 972-756-5500.

Reading this record

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.
