2011 UD Ud2000: what breaks, and at what mileage
What breaks on the 2011 UD Ud2000
No owner has filed a defect report with NHTSA about the 2011 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 2011 model year
NHTSA has issued 1 recall campaign covering the 2011 UD Ud2000, affecting an estimated 71 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 exterior lighting:headlights. 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.
One caution about reading these together: a recall usually raises the complaint count for the same part, because owners who read about it go and file. The mileages stay informative; the counts get noisy.
EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS
358 vehicles 2011-03-08- Defect
- 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."
- 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.
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.
