Recall 06V-483: 2006–2007 Hino ND8J, 2006–2007 Hino NE8J and 2 more

The problem

On certain vehicles, during the stamping process, some crossmembers were manufactured with a deformation to the lower corners due to excessive wear of the stamping die. Over time, if this condition were ignored, the structural integrity of the crossmembers could be compromised which could result in a loss of braking ability, separation of the propeller shaft and/or a loss of rear warning lamps.

The risk

Any of these occurrences could result in a crash.

The fix

Dealers will inspect, correct, and replace the crossmembers. The recall began on december 4, 2006. Owners may contact hino at 1-248-648-6400.
