2005 Hino NA6J recalls
Recall 12V-555: Electrical System
Problem: Hino is recalling certain model year 2005 through 2013 medium duty trucks, models NA6J, NB6J, NC6J, ND8J, NE8J, NJ8J, NF8J, and NV8J, manufactured from August 18, 2003, through November 16, 2011. Over time, the main B+ circuit from the battery to the starter could potentially short to ground due to wear that accumulates as a result of interference between the B+ circuit and its convoluted tubing sheath.
Risk: If the B+ circuit shorts to ground, it may lead to a fire.
Fix: Hino will notify owners, and dealers will repair the vehicles free of charge. The recall began on January 17, 2013. Owners may contact Hino at 1-248-699-9390.
Recall 08V-195: Suspension
Problem: Hino is recalling 16,805 my 2005-2008 na6j, nb6j, nc6j, nd8j, ne8j, nj8j, and nv8j trucks. The two vertical right/left side front spring bracket bolts were not tightened properly during the assembly process. This may cause increased stress on the spring bracket which can lead to cracking of the bracket.
Risk: This could reduce steering control increasing the risk of a crash.
Fix: Dealers will replace the vertical front spring bracket attachment bolts on right/left hanger brackets and re-torque all associated bolts free of charge. The recall began on september 8, 2008. Owners may contact hino at 248-699-9300.
Recall 06V-169: Steering
Problem: On certain trucks, during assembly, the drag link attachment nuts at the pitman arm and steering arm may have been incorrectly torqued. Residual grease and paint which was applied as a rust inhibitor on the steering arm may have contributed to a loss of torque after assembly.
Risk: Increased wear for the draglink connections can occur creating a noticeable increase in the amount of steering wheel free play. If this condition was ignored, a loss of steering control of the vehicle could occur which could result in a crash.
Fix: Dealers will inspect the steering arm tightness and remove all grease and paint from the steering arms and retorque the draglink attachment nuts at the steering arm and pitman arm. The recall began on may 12, 2006. Owners may contact hino at 1-248-648-6430.
Recall 04V-448: Steering
Problem: On certain trucks, when the steering wheel is being turned, the dust cover may twine with the steering shaft and could result in the steering wheel operation becoming heavy.
Risk: Loss of steering control may occur, which could result in a crash.
Fix: Dealers will remove the old dust cover and install a newly designed cover. The recall began october 8, 2004. Owners should contact hino at 1-845-365-1400.
Recall 04V-439: Vehicle Speed Control
Problem: On certain cab and chassis trucks, when excessive force is applied to the accelerator pedal, beyond that required to achieve full acceleration, the pedal may become wedged between the floor panel and the carpet.
Risk: When this occurs, the accelerator pedal will become wedged in the full throttle position which could result in a crash without warning.
Fix: Dealers will inspect the accelerator pedal height to determine if it is within specifications. If either the pedal height or the accelerator rod is not within specifications, replace the accelerator assembly. In addition, a new bracket containing an accelerator pedal stopper will be installed. The recall began on september 8, 2004. Owners should contact hino customer service at 1-845-365-1400.
Recall 04V-202: Steering
Problem: On certain trucks, the pinch bolt nut of the yoke connecting the steering gearbox and the steering wheel shaft backed out.
Risk: This could cause the yoke and the steering wheel shaft to separate which could result in loss of steering increasing the risk of a crash.
Fix: Dealers will inspect and retorque the pinch bolt nut as necessary. Owner notification began may 7, 2004. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact hino at 1-845-365-1400.
