2008 UD Ud2000: what breaks, and at what mileage
What breaks on the 2008 UD Ud2000
No owner has filed a defect report with NHTSA about the 2008 UD Ud2000. That is not a clean bill of health — it usually means few were sold, or the year is too new for problems to have surfaced.
Recalls on the 2008 model year
NHTSA has issued 1 recall campaign covering the 2008 UD Ud2000, affecting an estimated 109 vehicles. A recall is a different kind of evidence from a complaint: it is the regulator and the manufacturer agreeing that something has to be fixed, and the fix is free for as long as the car exists.
The campaigns cover fuel system, gasoline:delivery:fuel pump. Whether the work was actually done on the car in front of you is a question only the VIN can answer, and the manufacturer or NHTSA will answer it free.
Recalls also distort complaint counts. Publicity about a campaign reminds owners that complaining is possible, so reports for a recalled component often spike after the recall rather than before it.
FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:FUEL PUMP
549 vehicles 2008-11-24- Defect
- 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.
- Consequence
- 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.
- Remedy
- Dealers will replace the fuel injection pump drive coupler. The recall began on january 19, 2009. Owners may contact nissan diesel at 1-972-756-5500.
Recall work is free at a franchised dealer regardless of the car's age. Check the VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls before assuming it was done.
Every year of the UD Ud2000
Scores compare each year against other cars of the same model year, so a low number on an older car is a real result and not an artefact of age.
Why this page is short
A model year needs about 8 reports before percentiles mean anything, and this one does not have them. Complaint volume tracks how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road, so a thin page usually means a rare car, a new car, or a car whose owners do not file.
Where this comes from. Every figure above is computed from NHTSA owner complaints and recall records for this exact make, model and year. Complaints are voluntary and self-selected, so treat counts as a floor. The methodology page writes out each formula, and the same numbers are available as JSON.
