2008 Hino NB6J 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 07V-508: Visibility
Problem: On certain trucks, the side view mirrors may have been installed incorrectly possibly leading to the mirror glass detaching from the mirror housing.
Risk: If the mirror glass is lost, the driver may not be able to see traffic approaching from the rear increasing the risk of a crash.
Fix: Dealers will inspect the side view mirrors and, if necessary, replace the mirror materials. The recall began on june 12, 2007. Owners may contact hino at 1-248-648-6490.
Recall 07V-209: Fuel System, Gasoline
Problem: On certain trucks, due to insufficient bracket stiffness and over-tightening of the clip, the fuel pipe between the supply pump and the common rail may crack.
Risk: The engine warning light will alert the driver of the problem. If the warning light is ignored by the driver, this could ultimately cause a fire and the engine to stall.
Fix: Dealers will inspect the bracket and the clip and replace the necessary parts free of charge. The recall began on may 1, 2008. Owners may contact hino at 248-648-6430.
