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.

10V154000Received 15 Apr 2010. 571 units.
Engine and Engine Cooling
Defect, in the NHTSA record
Hino is recalling certain model year 2008-2010 nv8j trucks equipped with allison 3000 rds automatic transmission. The drive coupler bolts may not have been properly tightened at the factory due to the incorrect tool possibly being used during the manufacturing process.
Consequence, in the NHTSA record
If the drive coupler bolts were to loosen it could cause a vibration in the driveline. If this vibration were ignored, the drive coupler bolts could shear and the coupling between the engine and torque converter would not transmit power. This ultimately could result in a crash.

Hino will notify owners and dealers will repair the vehicles free of charge. The safety recall began on november 9, 2010. Owners may contact hino at 1-248-699-9330.

Engine and Engine Cooling / Engine
Defect, in the NHTSA record
Hino is recalling 3,836 my 2008 nd8j, ne8j, nj8j, and nv8j class 6 and 7, conventional cab, medium duty trucks equiped with j08e-tv or j08e-tw engines. There is an improper shape of the supply pump coupler located between the supply pump and the air compressor. The coupling may crack, the gear train and valves of the engine could break, and the engine could stop running.
Consequence, in the NHTSA record
This would disable the power steering system, stop the supply of air to the air tank, and may result in insufficient braking power, increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy, in the NHTSA record

Consequence, in the NHTSA record
