What's wrong?

The air brake system on 1999-2010 Ud UD3300 trucks uses compressed air to apply and release the service brakes. A quick release valve is part of that system. Its job is to vent air near the brake chambers so the brakes release at the correct time after the driver lets off the pedal.

In this recall, the brake actuation and release timing does not meet the federal air brake system requirement. That means the timing of when the brakes apply and let go is outside the required range. The record does not give a deeper root cause, so the issue should be discussed with a Ud dealer as an air brake timing problem.

There is no warning sign before failure. An owner should not count on a dashboard light, sound, or pedal change to confirm that a specific truck is affected.

Who's affected?

Across the listed model years, every included UD3300 points to the same brake system component.

A matching year and model does not guarantee inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether this recall applies to your specific truck.

What's the safety risk?

Incorrect air brake apply and release timing can reduce braking performance without warning. That raises crash risk because the vehicle needs more braking response than the operator expects. If the brakes act differently, slow down, avoid heavy loads, and schedule the recall repair soon. Repair will be free at any franchised Ud dealer once available.

What should I do?

  1. Check your VIN to confirm your 1999-2010 Ud UD3300 is included in this recall.
  2. Contact Ud customer service at 1-972-756-5500 if you have not received a recall notice.
  3. Ask a franchised Ud dealer whether the no-charge air-brake-line modification is open for your truck.
  4. Reference recall number 10V005 when you call, and describe the air brake apply/release timing issue that reduces braking performance without warning.
  5. Drive cautiously until the repair is complete. Leave extra following distance and avoid heavy loads when braking performance feels reduced.

What happens at the repair

At the dealer, a Ud technician inspects the air brake system and modifies the air brake line so brake actuation and release timing match the recall repair plan. The dealer repair will be free once available. Parts and labor are covered under the recall, and the service desk can confirm whether your UD3300 is in the group ready for inspection and repair.
