Service Brakes, Air › Supply › Hoses, Lines/Piping, and Fittings22V021000
Filed Jan 21, 20221 vehiclesHino Motors Sales U.s.a., Inc.
Defect. Hino Motors Sales U.S.A., Inc. (Hino) is recalling one 2021 NJ8A vehicle. The end fittings on the replacement air brake hose assembly may not have the manufacturer designation. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 106, "Brake Hoses."
Risk. The air brake hose end fitting may not be traceable should there be a safety recall, increasing the risk of a crash, injury, or fire.
Remedy. A dealer will replace the air brake hose, free of charge. Owners may contact Hino customer service at 1-248-699-9390. Hino's number for this recall is AANT0.
Service Brakes, Air › Antilock › Control Unit/Module20V383000
Filed Jul 1, 202010 vehiclesHino Motors Sales U.s.a., Inc.
Defect. Hino Motors Sales U.S.A., Inc. (Hino) is recalling certain 2021 NJ8A low-profile heavy trucks equipped with a full air brake system. The Anti-Lock Braking System control unit (ABS ECU) may be programmed with incorrect datasets for the tone ring teeth, causing the anti-lock braking system to mistakenly detect a difference between front and rear wheel rotation speeds resulting in deactivation of the Anti-Lock Braking function. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 121, "Air Brake Systems."
Risk. A loss of ABS function can increase the risk of a crash.
Remedy. Hino will notify owners, and dealers will reprogram the ABS-ECU with the corrected software. The recall began August 25, 2020. Owners may contact Hino customer service at 1-248-699-9390. Hino's number for this recall is AAJS0.

Filed Apr 30, 202012,470 vehiclesHino Motors Sales U.s.a., Inc.
Defect. Hino Motors Sales U.S.A., Inc. (Hino) is recalling certain 2020-2021 NV8J, NJ8J, NE8J, NJ8A, NV8A, NE8A, NE8G, NJ8C, NE8C, and NV8G trucks. The ground cable that connects the negative battery terminal to the frame may be too short and may break as a result.
Risk. If the ground cable breaks, the engine cannot be re-started to move the vehicle to a safe area, increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy. Hino will notify owners, and dealers will install an extension bracket to the negative battery terminal and inspect the ground cable terminal for damage, replacing the cable if damage is found, free of charge. Owners will be notified of the safety risk with an interim letter Mid-June 2020. The recall began June 26, 2020. Owners may contact Hino customer service at 1-248-699-9390. Hino's number for this recall is AAHT0.
No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.
Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
Recall repairs are free for as long as the recall stands. Check whether a specific car still has open work at NHTSA's VIN lookup.
