Recall 10V006 affects 1,004 1999-2010 Ud UD3300 vehicles for insufficient air tank reserve. Repair is free at any franchised Ud dealer.

Ud is recalling 1,004 1999-2010 UD3300 vehicles because the air brake system has insufficient air tank reserve capacity. This can reduce braking performance during repeated brake applications and increase the risk of a crash without warning; the dealer repair will be free once available.

What's wrong?

The air brake supply system on 1999-2010 Ud UD3300 trucks stores compressed air in tanks and sends it to the brakes when the pedal is pressed. Air tank reserve is the stored backup air the brake system draws from during repeated stops. The check valve in this system helps keep air moving in the correct direction so usable pressure remains available for braking.

In NHTSA campaign 10V006, these trucks have insufficient air tank reserve capacity under Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 121. That means the system does not hold enough reserve air to keep up during repetitive brake applications. When the driver uses the brakes again and again, the available air supply can fall below what the brake system needs to operate properly.

There is no warning sign before failure. The issue is tied to air reserve capacity, so an owner should not expect a clear dashboard warning or early symptom before brake performance is affected.

Who's affected?

All included UD3300 model years point to the same brake system check valve.

The year and model narrow the scope, but the VIN decides. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific truck is included.

What's the safety risk?

Reduced braking performance gives the truck less stopping control and increases crash risk. There is no warning sign before the problem reaches the driver, so drive cautiously and treat braking changes as a reason to stop and call the dealer. 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 a franchised Ud dealer and ask whether the free air-reservoir tank repair is open for your VIN.
  3. Reference recall number 10V006 when you call, and explain that the repair increases air tank reserve capacity for the air brake system.
  4. Bring the recall notice if you have it when the dealer schedules the repair.
  5. Drive cautiously until the repair is complete. Leave extra following distance and avoid repeated hard brake applications.

What happens at the repair

The dealer remedy is to increase the air reservoir tank's volume so the air brake system has the reserve capacity required for repeated brake applications. Once the repair is available for your VIN, a Ud technician performs that reservoir update free of charge. Ask the service desk what parts or inspection steps apply to your truck before the work starts. The recall notice directs owners to bring the vehicle to a dealer for the free remedy, but it does not list a repair time.

Frequently asked questions

What is recall 10V006?

Recall 10V006 covers 1,004 1999-2010 Ud UD3300 vehicles with air brake reservoir capacity that does not meet the federal air brake standard. The air supply can run short during repeated brake use, reducing braking performance. Ud dealers increase the air reservoir tank volume for free.

What should I do if my 1999-2010 Ud UD3300 is on this recall?

Check your VIN to confirm your specific vehicle is included in recall 10V006. If it is, contact a franchised Ud dealer and ask for the free air reservoir tank remedy. Reference recall number 10V006 when you call the service desk.

Is the recall repair free?

Yes. Federal recall law requires the manufacturer to repair the defect at no cost, and the recall remedy says owners will be asked to bring their vehicles to a dealer for the free repair. Parts and labor for increasing the air reservoir tank volume are covered.

What is the safety risk?

The safety risk is reduced braking performance during repeated brake applications. The recall filing says the air tank reserve capacity is insufficient, which can leave too little air supply to operate the brakes properly and result in a crash without prior warning to the driver.

What if I bought my Ud UD3300 used?

The free repair still applies. Recall eligibility follows the VIN, not the current owner or where the vehicle was purchased. Check your VIN, then call a franchised Ud dealer with recall number 10V006 if your vehicle is included.
