Recall 06V-159: 2005–2006 UD UD1800, 2005–2006 UD UD2000 and 3 more
NISSAN DIESEL AMERICA, INC recall for engine and engine cooling, reported to NHTSA on May 10, 2006, covering about 1,814 vehicles.
The problem
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.
The risk
If the drive belt comes off, the alternator warning lamp will illuminate. If the warning is ignored, this condition could ultimately result in a loss of vehicle power (Engine stall) increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
Dealers will replace the auto tensioner, install upgraded mounting bolts, and replace the accessory drive belt free of charge. The recall began on june 23, 2006. Owners may contact nissan diesel at 972-756-5523. Note: this recall has been superseded by 07v207.
