What is wrong
NISSAN DIESEL IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2007-2008 UD3300 VEHICLES THAT WERE MODIFIED BY INSTALLING DUAL STEERING CONTROLS FOR USE AS STREET SWEEPERS. THE RIGHT SIDE STEERING DRAG LINK MAY HAVE BEEN INSTALLED INCORRECTLY.

THIS COULD RESULT IN A LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL AND/OR CAUSE A VEHICLE CRASH WITHOUT 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.
