    Parking Brake

    Defect, in the NHTSA record
    Hino Motor Sales U.S.A., Inc. (Hino) is recalling certain model year 2005-2015 Hino ND8J, NE8J, and NF8J trucks manufactured August 26, 2003, to May 14, 2014. In the affected vehicles, components of the parking brake handle assembly may wear, resulting in either the parking brake unexpectedly releasing when engaged or preventing the parking brake from fully engaging.
    Consequence, in the NHTSA record
    Either parking brake condition may result in the vehicle rolling unexpectedly, increasing the risk of a crash.
    Remedy, in the NHTSA record
    Hino will notify owners, and dealers will install a new parking brake lever that contains a two-way damper and a roller at the cable joining pin, free of charge. The recall began February 2, 2015. Owners may contact Hino customer service at 1-248-699-9330. Hino's number for this recall is A9970. Note: This recall supersedes 13V-614.

  2. 12V555000Received . 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.

  3. 08V195000Received . 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: .

  4. 07V208000Received . 14,588 units.

    Engine and Engine Cooling

    Defect, in the NHTSA record
    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, in the NHTSA record
    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.
    Remedy, in the NHTSA record
    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).

    Report filed by HINO MOTORS SALES U.S.A., INC.. Manufacturer campaign number A5340.

  5. 06V483000Received . 1,599 units.

    Structure

    Defect, in the NHTSA record
    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, in the NHTSA record
    Any of these occurrences could result in a crash.
    Remedy, in the NHTSA record
    Dealers will inspect, correct, and replace the crossmembers. The recall began on december 4, 2006. Owners may contact hino at 1-248-648-6400.

    Report filed by HINO MOTORS SALES U.S.A., INC.. Manufacturer campaign number M0070.

  6. 06V360000Received . 746 units.

    Service Brakes, Air / Supply / Hoses, Lines/Piping, and Fittings

    Defect, in the NHTSA record
    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, in the NHTSA record
    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.
    Remedy, in the NHTSA record
    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.

    Report filed by HINO MOTORS SALES U.S.A., INC.. Manufacturer campaign number HS001.

  7. 06V169000Received . 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.

  8. 06V157000Received . 3,930 units.

    Engine and Engine Cooling

    Defect, in the NHTSA record
    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, in the NHTSA record
    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.
    Remedy, in the NHTSA record
    Dealers will replace the auto tensioner, install upgraded mounting bolts, and replace the accessory drive belt free of charge. The recall began on may 2, 2006. Owners may contact hino motors at 248-648-6430. This campaign has been superseded - please see 07v208.

    Report filed by HINO MOTORS SALES U.S.A., INC.. Manufacturer campaign number A4790.

  9. 05V492000Received . 577 units.

    Electrical System / 12v/24v/48v Battery

    Defect, in the NHTSA record
    On certain trucks, the bolts that hold the battery box and bracket in place may not have been properly torqued at the time of assembly.
    Consequence, in the NHTSA record
    The battery box could become loose and possibly fall resulting in a crash without warning.
    Remedy, in the NHTSA record
    Dealers will inspect and retorqued all bolts. The recall began on october 27, 2005. Owners may contact hino at 248-648-6430.

    Report filed by HINO MOTORS SALES U.S.A., INC.. Manufacturer campaign number M0040. Owner notification date in the NHTSA record: .

  10. 05V356000Received . 46 units.

    Suspension / Front / Wheel Bearing

    Defect, in the NHTSA record
    On certain chassis and cabs, the wheel bearings were oil-packed onto the front axle rather than grease lubricated as specified. It was later determined that the caliper mounting bolts were not properly torqued and the proper end play adjustment was not made.
    Consequence, in the NHTSA record
    This can cause the caliper mounting bolts to become loose and back out. The caliper could become disconnected from the rotor assembly which would cause a decrease in braking ability, increasing the risk of a crash.
    Remedy, in the NHTSA record
    Dealers will torque all affected caliper mounting bolts and readjust each wheel for the proper end play adjustment. The recall began on september 6, 2005. Owners should contact hino at 248-648-6400.
