What is wrong
NISSAN DIESEL IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2007 AND 2008 UD3300 VEHICLES THAT WERE MODIFIED BY INSTALLING DUAL STEERING CONTROLS FOR USE AS STREET SWEEPERS.

BRAKE RECERTIFICATION WAS NOT PERFORMED ON THESE VEHICLES DURING MODIFICATION OF THE DUAL STEERING SYSTEM.

OPERATION OF A VEHICLE WITH INCORRECT AIR BRAKE APPLY/RELEASE TIMING MAY RESULT IN REDUCED BRAKING PERFORMANCE WHICH COULD RESULT IN A VEHICLE CRASH WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING TO THE VEHICLE OPERATOR.

A recall means the maker found a safety problem and offers a free fix; it does not mean every unit has the problem. Units affected are as reported by the company. Popular models sell more and so have more recalls and complaints. Official public data; texts are shortened. A dealer can tell whether a single vehicle still needs the repair.
