2002 UD UD1400 recalls
Recall 05V-262: Electrical System
Problem: On certain light duty trucks, the battery cable may have been routed incorrectly during vehicle manufacturing that could allow the battery cable to contact the edge of the rear transmission mounting bracket. During normal vehicle operation the battery cable corrugated protective conduit could become worn away and allow shorting of the positive battery cable to the frame.
Risk: This could cause an electrical short, which could result in a fire.
Fix: For my 1999-2000 models, dealers will inspect and reroute the cable correctly to the smooth side of the rear transmission mounting bracket and secure it to the chassis wiring harness as designed or will have the positive battery cable replaced. For my 2001-2002, dealers will secure the battery cable to the adjacent chassis wiring harness with a plastic tie strap to prevent excessive movement of the cable or if the corrugated protective conduit worn through near the rear transmission mounting bracket or the third frame cross member support will be replaced. The recall began on on september 19, 2005. Owners may contact nissan diesel at 972-756-5500.
Recall 05V-261: Electrical System
Problem: Certain light duty trucks may have had the outer corrugated protective conduit for the battery cable worn through at the rear transmission mounting bracket and the battery cable may rub against the edge of the third frame cross member support and allow the battery cable to short against the frame.
Risk: This could cause an electrical short, which could result in a fire.
Fix: Dealers will replace the battery cable with a redesigned cable that will prevent movement of the cable inside the corrugated protective conduit and a protective edge guard will be installed on the lower edge of the third chassis frame across member support. The recall began on september 19, 2005. Owners may contact nissan diesel america at 972-756-5500.
Recall 03V-224: Seat Belts
Problem: On certain light duty trucks, the passenger seat belt may have the incorrect seat belt anchor installed.
Risk: In the event of a crash, the seat occupant may not be properly restrained, increasing the risk of personal injury.
Fix: Dealers will inspect the vehicles and replace the passenger seat frame/anchor, if necessary. Owner notification began october 20, 2003. Owners should contact nissan diesel at 1-972-756-5500.
