2012 Hino XFC recalls
Recall 14V-727: Hybrid Propulsion System
Problem: Hino Motor Sales U.S.A., Inc. (Hino) is recalling certain model year 2012-2015 Hino XFC vehicles manufactured August 27, 2011, to November 7, 2014. In the affected vehicles, the output shaft of the Hybrid Vehicle (HV) motor may break.
Risk: If the output shaft breaks during vehicle operation, the vehicle may stop moving under its own power, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash.
Fix: Hino will notify owners, and dealers will replace the HV motor with one that has a stronger output shaft, free of charge. The recall began February 6, 2015. Owners may contact Hino customer service at 1-248-699-9300. Hino's number for this recall is A9930.
Recall 14V-678: Service Brakes, Hydraulic
Problem: Hino Motors Sales U.S.A., Inc. (Hino Motors) is recalling certain model year 2012-2015 XJC and XFC vehicles manufactured February 17, 2011, to October 31, 2014. The brake warning lamp that is supposed to illuminate in the event of a loss of brake fluid pressure or that there is low brake fluid may not operate correctly due to a software programming issue. Thus, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards No. 105, "Hydraulic and Electric Brake Systems."
Risk: If the warning lamp does not illuminate in the event of low pressure or low brake fluid volume, the driver will not be warned of the potential for a reduction or loss of braking capability, increasing the risk of a crash.
Fix: Hino Motors will notify owners, and dealers will reprogram the ABS ECU, free of charge. The recall began on December 19, 2014. Owners may contact Hino customer service at 1-248-699-9300.
