What was wrong

Defect

Risk

Excessive wear of the cylinders can result in engine failure, increasing the risk of a crash.

Manufacturer remedy

UD will notify the owner, and a dealer will inspect the stampings on the connecting rods, replacing them as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on December 20, 2017. Owners may contact UD customer service at 1-336-291-5237.
