2005 Hino NA6J & 2005 Hino NB6J + 4 more recall: steering
⚠️ What's wrong
On certain trucks, the pinch bolt nut of the yoke connecting the steering gearbox and the steering wheel shaft backed out.
💥 The 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.
🔧 The 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.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
