This paper is devoted to investigate whether the popular No U-turn (NUTS) sampling algorithm is correct, i.e.\ whether the target probability distribution is \emph{exactly} conserved by the algorithm. It turns out that one of the Gibbs substeps used in the algorithm cannot always be guaranteed to be correct.
