What NHTSA recorded

Ud trucks is recalling certain model year 2011 ud1800, ud2000, ud2300, ud2600, and ud3300 medium duty trucks manufactured from july 22, 2010 through november 29, 2010. The visual optical aiming headlamps and the low beam horizontal adjustment mechanism were not adequately secured to prevent adjustment after manufacture. Therefore, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 108, "lamps, reflective devices, and associated equipment."

Possible consequence

Improper adjustments to the headlamps or the low beam adjustment mechanism may result in headlamp lighting that does not fully illuminate the road surface or may inhibit the ability of motorists to see vehicles which can increase the risk of a crash.

Remedy

Dealers will make sure all vehicles will have a prevention cap installed over the low beam horizontal headlamp adjustment mechanism to prevent adjustment. This service will be performed free of charge. The safety recall began on april 18, 2011. Owner may contact ud trucks at 972-756-5500.
