The defect
Hino Motor Sales U.S.A., Inc. (Hino) is recalling certain 2018 NE8J, NJ8J, and NV8J vehicles. The door hinge bolts on these vehicles may not be sufficiently tightened, possibly allowing the door to open while driving. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 206, "Door Locks and Door Retention Components."
The risk
The loose door hinges can cause the door to operate improperly and possibly open, increasing the risk of a crash or injury.
The remedy
Hino will notify owners, and dealers will tighten the door hinge bolts, as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on October 9, 2017. Owners may contact Hino customer service at 1-248-699-9300. Hino's number for this recall is M0300.

What this page is, and what to do next
A recall is not an opinion. It is a Part 573 report a manufacturer is required by federal law to file once it decides a defect poses an unreasonable risk to safety, and it commits them to repairing the vehicle at no cost to the owner. The three passages above are the manufacturer’s own wording as published by NHTSA.
This page describes the campaign. It cannot tell you whether one particular car has already been through the shop — that is tracked by VIN, and only the manufacturer knows it. Check yours at nhtsa.gov/recalls or with a franchised dealer, quoting campaign number 17V493000.
