What happened

UD Trucks Corporation is recalling certain 2008-2010 UD 3300 trucks equipped with a dual steering system. Modifications to these vehicles may have resulted in a loss of isolation between the primary and secondary air brake systems. If either the primary or secondary air brake system experiences an air leak, the vehicle may lose all braking ability, which increases the risk of a crash.

UD Trucks will notify owners and correct the air brake system on affected vehicles at no cost. The recall began on July 12, 2012. Owners of affected vehicles should contact UD Trucks at 1-336-393-2233.
