Recalls
7 recalls name the 2007 Hino NV8J. Newest first.
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…
Risk and remedy
Risk
If the B+ circuit shorts to ground, it may lead to a fire.
Remedy
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.
Hino IS recalling 1,195 my 2007-2009 NV8J trucks. during the manufacturing process, the propeller shaft bolts may not have been properly tightened during the manufacturing process.
Risk and remedy
Risk
If the bolts were to loosen, it could cause a vibration in the driveline. if this vibration were ignored, the propeller shaft could separate from the mating flange. this could potentially result in damage to property and/or result in a crash.
Remedy
Dealers will replace the propeller shaft bolts. The recall began on october 14, 2008. owners may contact hino at 1-248-699-9300.
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.
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.
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
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.

I was driving about 25mph I had my auto gear selector in 4 gear, and the exhaust brake was set on. while slowing for a traffic light it seemed as if the automatic transmission was locked into second gear. The exhaust brake was coming off and on in rapid succession. I was pushing pressure on the brakes. I shifted the auto gear selector down to 2ND and pushed the brake as hard as I could. The truck slowed to less than 5MPH but the transmission would not disengage, which resulted in a slow speed rear end collision. At the point of impact my transmission disengaged. the police arrived and directed us to move our vehicles out of traffic. This time while driving a shot distance with the exhaust brake off the same condition occurred at a stop sign, luckily there was nobody in front of me and I tried pumping the brakes a few times which stopped the problem. I have yet to visit a dealer because of the holiday. it seems to me that the lock-up torque converter wouldn't release and that IS why the tranny wouldn't coast as normal. At least that my guess. The tranny IS an allison 3000rds. *tr
