Plain-English summary

UD Trucks Corporation is recalling certain model year 2011-2013 UD2600 and UD3300 trucks equipped with Allison 3000RDS automatic transmissions. The recall involves 296 vehicles where the oil cooler hose clamp retaining rings may fail.

If the retaining ring fails, the oil cooler hose may leak, leaving a large deposit on the roadway that may present a hazard to other vehicles. Additionally, if any of the oil sprays onto hot engine components, there is an increased risk of a vehicle fire.

UD Trucks will notify owners, and dealers will replace the affected hoses free of charge. The manufacturer has not yet provided a notification schedule. Owners may contact UD Trucks at 1-800-832-5929 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
