2016 Hino 338 recalls
Recall 17V-304: Equipment
Problem: Jim Reed's Truck Sales, Inc. (JRTS) is recalling certain 2014-2016 Hino 338 trucks modified by JRTS. The affected trucks have Certification labels that do not identify JRTS as the final stage manufacturer. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of 49 CFR Part 567, "Certification."
Risk: Incorrect final stage manufacturer information on the certification label may hinder owner awareness of safety recalls, increasing the risk of a fire or a crash.
Fix: JRTS will notify owners and send them a new certification label with the correct final stage manufacturer information, free of charge. The recall began on June 13, 2017. Owners may contact Jim Reed's Truck Sales' customer service at 1-914-737-3990.
Recall 15V-208: Suspension
Problem: Hino Motor Sales U.S.A., Inc. (Hino) is recalling certain model year 2015-2016 238, 258, 268, and 338 trucks manufactured January 5, 2015, to March 20, 2015. In the affected vehicles, the U-bolt that connects the suspension springs to the front axle may have been overtightened.
Risk: If the U-bolt was overtightened, the bolt may stretch resulting in it loosening or failing. Either result may cause a loss of steering ability, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash.
Fix: Hino will notify owners, and dealers will replace the front axle U-bolts on the subject vehicles free of charge. The recall began on June 5, 2015. Owners may contact Hino customer service at 1-248-699-9300.
