Risk and remedy
Risk
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

Remedy
Dealers will inspect each vehicle and check the torque on the nuts. if the nuts are not torqued properly, they will be tightened to the proper specification. the recall began on june 4, 2005. owners may contact hino at 1-248-648-6400.
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.

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