1. 12V555000Received 3 Dec 2012. 35,142 units.

   Electrical System / Wiring

   Defect, in the NHTSA record

   Hino is recalling certain model year 2005 through 2013 medium duty trucks, models NA6J, NB6J, NC6J, ND8J, NE8J, NJ8J, NF8J, and NV8J, manufactured from August 18, 2003, through November 16, 2011. Over time, the main B+ circuit from the battery to the starter could potentially short to ground due to wear that accumulates as a result of interference between the B+ circuit and its convoluted tubing sheath.

   Consequence, in the NHTSA record

   If the B+ circuit shorts to ground, it may lead to a fire.

   Remedy, in the NHTSA record

   Hino will notify owners, and dealers will repair the vehicles free of charge. The recall began on January 17, 2013. Owners may contact Hino at 1-248-699-9390.

   Report filed by HINO MOTORS SALES U.S.A., INC.. Manufacturer campaign number A8310. Owner notification date in the NHTSA record: 17 Jan 2013.

2. 08V195000Received 30 Apr 2008. 16,805 units.

   Suspension / Front

   Defect, in the NHTSA record

   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, in the NHTSA record

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

   Remedy, in the NHTSA record

   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.

   Report filed by HINO MOTORS SALES U.S.A., INC.. Manufacturer campaign number A5850. Owner notification date in the NHTSA record: 22 Sep 2008.

3. 06V169000Received 18 May 2006. 5,072 units.

   Steering / Linkages

   Defect, in the NHTSA record

   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, in the NHTSA record

   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.

   Remedy, in the NHTSA record

   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.

   Report filed by HINO MOTORS SALES U.S.A., INC.. Manufacturer campaign number M0050.

4. 04V448000Received 20 Sep 2004. 3,366 units.

   Steering

   Defect, in the NHTSA record

   On certain trucks, when the steering wheel is being turned, the dust cover may twine with the steering shaft and could result in the steering wheel operation becoming heavy.

   Consequence, in the NHTSA record

   Loss of steering control may occur, which could result in a crash.

   Remedy, in the NHTSA record

   Dealers will remove the old dust cover and install a newly designed cover. The recall began october 8, 2004. Owners should contact hino at 1-845-365-1400.

   Report filed by HINO MOTORS SALES U.S.A., INC.. Manufacturer campaign number A3740. Owner notification date in the NHTSA record: 8 Oct 2004.

5. 04V439000Received 13 Sep 2004. 3,366 units.

   Vehicle Speed Control / Accelerator Pedal

   Defect, in the NHTSA record

   On certain cab and chassis trucks, when excessive force is applied to the accelerator pedal, beyond that required to achieve full acceleration, the pedal may become wedged between the floor panel and the carpet.

   Consequence, in the NHTSA record

   When this occurs, the accelerator pedal will become wedged in the full throttle position which could result in a crash without warning.

   Remedy, in the NHTSA record

   Dealers will inspect the accelerator pedal height to determine if it is within specifications. If either the pedal height or the accelerator rod is not within specifications, replace the accelerator assembly. In addition, a new bracket containing an accelerator pedal stopper will be installed. The recall began on september 8, 2004. Owners should contact hino customer service at 1-845-365-1400.

   Report filed by HINO MOTORS SALES U.S.A., INC.. Manufacturer campaign number A3720.

6. 04V202000Received 28 Apr 2004. 810 units.

   Steering / Linkages

   Defect, in the NHTSA record

   On certain trucks, the pinch bolt nut of the yoke connecting the steering gearbox and the steering wheel shaft backed out.

   Consequence, in the NHTSA record

   This could cause the yoke and the steering wheel shaft to separate which could result in loss of steering increasing the risk of a crash.

   Remedy, in the NHTSA record

   Dealers will inspect and retorque the pinch bolt nut as necessary. Owner notification began may 7, 2004. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact hino at 1-845-365-1400.

   Report filed by HINO MOTORS SALES U.S.A., INC.. Manufacturer campaign number A3370. Owner notification date in the NHTSA record: 7 May 2004.

7. 04V098000Received 25 Feb 2004. 255 units.

   Exterior Lighting / Back Up Lights

   Defect, in the NHTSA record

   Certain trucks equipped with manual transmissions fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 108, "lamps, reflective devices, and associated equipment." a reverse backup switch may have been contaminated during the manufacturing process. The neutral safety switch may not allow the cruise control to engage.

   Consequence, in the NHTSA record

   This does not meet the requirements of the standard. Also, this could cause the cruise control not to be activated. The reverse backup light and buzzer stays on.

   Remedy, in the NHTSA record

   Dealers will replace the switches. Owner notification began on april 19, 2004. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact hino at 1-845-365-1400.
