DEFECT #1 - STRUCTURE

Posted on: 2006-12-27
Description
On certain vehicles, during the stamping process, some crossmembers were manufactured with a deformation to the lower corners due to excessive wear of the stamping die.  Over time, if this condition were ignored, the structural integrity of the crossmembers could be compromised which could result in a loss of braking ability, separation of the propeller shaft and/or a loss of rear warning lamps.

Consequence
Any of these occurrences could result in a crash.

Corrective Action
Dealers will inspect, correct, and replace the crossmembers.  The recall began on december 4, 2006.  Owners may contact hino at 1-248-648-6400.

DEFECT #2 - SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:SUPPLY:HOSES, LINES/PIPING, AND FITTINGS

Posted on: 2006-09-20
Description
On certain cab and chassis trucks that were transported to the selling location or body company using a decking system (vehicles stacked on the rear of the lead truck for transport), the air brake lines may be disconnected so that the braking systems can be tied together with the other vehicles.  When these vehicles arrive at their destination, the air brake lines are reconnected.  These reconnections were not always being tightened to the proper torque.  Also, during this reconnection process, some of the abs wiring clips had been removed and not reinstalled.

Consequence
Loose air brake lines can become disconnected or leak which could cause a decrease in braking ability or resulting in application of the parking brake without it being activated.  This could result in a crash.  Also if the drive shaft bolts are left loose, the drive shaft could become disengaged making the vehicle immovable.  If the abs sensors are not secured properly using the correct clips, the abs sensors could go out of alignment.

Corrective Action
Dealers will inspect the air brake lines, drive shaft bolts and abs sensor clips and tighten and repair if necessary.  The recall began on september 15, 2006.  Owners may contact hino at 1-248-648-6430.

DEFECT #3 - STEERING:LINKAGES

Posted on: 2006-05-18
Description
On certain trucks, during assembly, the drag link attachment nuts at the pitman arm and steering arm may have been incorrectly torqued.  Residual grease and paint which was applied as a rust inhibitor on the steering arm may have contributed to a loss of torque after assembly.

Consequence
Increased wear for the draglink connections can occur creating a noticeable increase in the amount of steering wheel free play.  If this condition was ignored, a loss of steering control of the vehicle could occur which could result in a crash.

Corrective Action
Dealers will inspect the steering arm tightness and remove all grease and paint from the steering arms and retorque the draglink attachment nuts at the steering arm and pitman arm.  The recall began on may 12, 2006.  Owners may contact hino at 1-248-648-6430.

Notes
Hino recall no.  M0050.customers may also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (tty 1-800-424-9153), or go to http://www.safercar.gov.

DEFECT #4 - ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING

Posted on: 2007-05-15
Description
On certain trucks equipped with bando belt tensioner, corrosion or rust may develop on the tensioner spindle or bushing causing the auto tensioner to become stiff or bind.  This can cause the drive belt to suddenly come off or the auto tensioner mounting bolts could suddenly break.

Consequence
If the drive belt comes off, the alternator warning lamp will illuminate.  If the warning is ignored, this condition could ultimately result in a loss of vehicle power (engine stall) increasing the risk of a crash.

Corrective Action
Dealers will replace the auto tensioner, install upgraded mounting bolts, and replace the accessory drive belt free of charge.  The recall began on april 25, 2007.  Owners may contact hino motors at 248-648-6430.  Note: this recall supersedes a previous campaign (please see 06v157).

DEFECT #5 - POWER TRAIN:DRIVELINE

Posted on: 2008-09-22
Description
Hino is recalling 1,195 my 2007-2009 nv8j trucks.  During the manufacturing process, the propeller shaft bolts may not have been properly tightened during the manufacturing process.

Consequence
If the bolts were to loosen, it could cause a vibration in the driveline.  If this vibration were ignored, the propeller shaft could separate from the mating flange.  This could potentially result in damage to property and/or result in a crash.

Corrective Action
Dealers will replace the propeller shaft bolts.  The recall began on october 14, 2008.  Owners may contact hino at 1-248-699-9300.

Notes

DEFECT #6 - SUSPENSION:FRONT

Posted on: 2008-04-30
Description
Hino is recalling 16,805 my 2005-2008 na6j, nb6j, nc6j, nd8j, ne8j, nj8j, and nv8j trucks.  The two vertical right/left side front spring bracket bolts were not tightened properly during the assembly process.  This may cause increased stress on the spring bracket which can lead to cracking of the bracket.

Consequence
This could reduce steering control increasing the risk of a crash.

Corrective Action
Dealers will replace the vertical front spring bracket attachment bolts on right/left hanger brackets and re-torque all associated bolts free of charge.  The recall began on september 8, 2008.  Owners may contact hino at 248-699-9300.
