December 3, 2012NHTSA 12V55500035,142 vehicles potentially affected

Electrical system › Wiring

Summary: 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: 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.

Engine and engine cooling

Summary: 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: 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.
Remedy: 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.

November 24, 2008NHTSA 08V6130003,836 vehicles potentially affected

Engine and engine cooling › Engine

Summary: 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: 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: Dealers will repair the coupling. The recall began on January 5, 2009. Owners may contact hino at 1-248-699-9330.

Power train › Driveline

Summary: 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.
Consequence: 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.

Suspension › Front

Summary: 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: 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.
