Summary: Hino is recalling 130 my 2008-2009 ND8J, NE8J, NJ8J, and NV8J conventional trucks. The rear axle u-bolts were not properly tightened. The lower spring seat may not contact the axle housing properly, producing a gap on the front or rear side of the axle housing.
Consequence: This gap could allow the u-bolts to loosen and/or cause the lower spring seat to crack. The axle could become misaligned and/or separated from the mountings increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy: Dealers will inspect the rear air suspension lower spring seat for a gap between the rear axle and lower spring seat. The u-bolts will be tightened to the specified torque. The recall began on January 19, 2009. Owners may contact hino at 1-248-699-9330.

Vehicles covered

As listed by NHTSA. A recall usually covers only some vehicles of each model and year, often a production date range.

Has your Cable Car been repaired?

Recalls here come from NHTSA’s records for the model and year. Not every vehicle of a model is included in every recall, and this site can’t see whether a repair has been done. Only a VIN lookup can tell you that.

Check your VIN with NHTSA

NHTSA’s VIN search doesn’t show recalls that were already repaired, recalls more than 15 years old, or some small manufacturers’ recalls. A Cable Car dealer can also check your VIN. Recall repairs are free.
