2005 UD UD1800 recalls
Recall 07V-207: Engine and Engine Cooling
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.
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.
Fix: Dealers will replace the auto tensioner, install upgraded mounting bolts, and replace the accessory drive belt free of charge. The recall began on august 24, 2007. Owners may contact nissan diesel at 972-756-5523. Note: this recall will supersede nissan diesel's previous campaign (Please see 06v159).
