The short answer

NHTSA received NISSAN DIESEL AMERICA, INC’s report on Nov 24, 2008. Copied from NHTSA on Oct 28, 2026.

Every line below is in NHTSA’s own words, with its source beside it.

What’s wrong with it?

CONTINUED OPERATION WITH A CRACKED DRIVE COUPLER COULD RESULT IN THE COUPLER BECOMING BROKEN AND CAUSING THE ENGINE TO STALL AND NOT RESTART, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.

NISSAN DIESEL IS RECALLING 549 MY 2008 UD1800, UD2000, UD2300, UD2600, AND UD3300 MEDIUM DUTY TRUCKS.

A FAILURE OF THE FUEL INJECTION PUMP DRIVE COUPLER CAN OCCUR.

THE BOTTOM CORNER OF THE NOTCHED DRIVE SURFACE WAS IMPROPERLY MACHINED.

WITH INCREASED FUEL PUMP PRESSURE, THE REQUIRED TURNING TORQUE ON THE DRIVE COUPLER INCREASED.

THE INCREASED TURNING TORQUE COULD CRACK THE COUPLER AT THE BOTTOM CORNER WITHOUT WARNING UNDER NORMAL VEHICLE OPERATION.

What the record doesn’t say

  • NHTSA’s recall file doesn’t say whether anyone was hurt.
  • Whether one vehicle or seat has been fixed: only its maker, or NHTSA’s lookup with a VIN, can say.
  • This recall names only model years before 2015, which have no pages here. Your VIN, at NHTSA, says which recalls are open on a vehicle.
  • How many have been returned or fixed isn’t in the notice.
