- Summary
- Hino Motor Sales (Hino) is recalling certain model year 2013 NV8J vehicles manufactured November 13, 2012, through February 8, 2013. The affected vehicles were modified to have a lower Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR), however the vehicle documentation shows the full GVWR. As such, the information on the documents does not conform to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) Part 567 "Certification."
- Consequence
- An operator relying on the documents to determine the truck's GVWR may load the vehicle beyond the actual weight rating, possibly resulting in tire or suspension failure, increasing the risk of a crash.
- Remedy
- Hino will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and replace the documents, as necessary, free of charge. All of the owners have been notified as of January 29, 2014. Customers may contact Hino at 1-248-699-9330. Hino's number for this recall is M0270.
- Notes
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.

As listed by NHTSA. A recall usually covers only some vehicles of each model and year, often a production date range.
Has your Hino 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.
NHTSA’s VIN search doesn’t show recalls that were already repaired, recalls more than 15 years old, or some small manufacturers’ recalls. A Hino dealer can also check your VIN. Recall repairs are free.
