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.
Risk and remedy
Risk
This could reduce steering control increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy
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.
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.
Risk and remedy
Risk
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
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).
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…
Risk and remedy
Risk
Any of these occurrences could result in a crash.
Remedy
Dealers will inspect, correct, and replace the crossmembers. the recall began on december 4, 2006. owners may contact hino at 1-248-648-6400.
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…
Risk and remedy
Risk
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
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.
Service bulletins
Technical service bulletins and other communications the manufacturer sent dealers about this vehicle. Ask a dealer for the full document by its number.
- 11000898This article will provide dealership technicians with information on how to open a tech assist case and discuss what is required when opening a Tech Assist Case.
- 11000897After connecting to a truck using DX3, it may be necessary to review or create a DX Diagnostic Report for review.
- 10185627When replacing an engine block with service part no., 11401E0380 there is potential that 2 rear oil passage plugs may be missing in the rear of the replacement engine block. In the event your replacement engine block does not have these 2 oil passage plugs, you will need to install them before proceeding
- 10185599In the event that one of the subject vehicles is driven while the ABS warning lamp is illuminated, operation of the torque converter clutch will be suspended. Driving the vehicle with an ABS warning lamp illuminated can lead to overheating of the transmission fluid due to the torque converter clutch not functioning. A jumper harness has been made available that will allow operation of the torque converter clutch in the event that the vehicle is driven while the ABS warning lamp is illuminated.
- 10185454If the parking brake is not released in accordance with the instructions in the Driver?s/Owner?s Manual (such as releasing the parking brake lever only by pushing the lever release button, without holding the lever with the hand, until it is completely released), the tension of the brake cable could be released quickly, causing an increase in the friction between the long hole in the slide area and the cable joining pin. In addition, improper adjustment of the parking brake cable that is stretched due to repeated operation of the parking brake could increase the contact force between the cable joining pin and the long hole in the slide area of the parking brake lever during the operation of the parking brake. If the parking brake continues to be operated in such a condition, the long hole in the slide area of the parking brake lever becomes worn and the long hole diameter becomes enlarged. If that condition occurs, the washer fixed to the cable joining pin can become stuck in the worn and enlarged long hole when the parking brake lever is pulled. This situation may prevent the parking brake lever being pulled to its full stroke, leading to the application of insufficient brake force. In the worst case situation, vibration can cause the washer which is stuck in the worn and enlarged long hole to come off, releasing the parking brake lever and resulting in the vehicle moving.
