Nissan Truck Recall Over Brake Issues
A Nissan UD 3300 truck recall was prompted by brakes that fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
About 1,166 Nissan trucks were recalled, including model years 1999 through 2010. The insufficient air tank reserve capacity on these vehicles can lead to restricted air supply that hinders brake operation, potentially resulting in reduced braking performance without warning to the driver and increasing the risk of a crash.
