2006 Hino ND6J & 2006 Hino NE8J recall: suspension
⚠️ What's wrong
On certain chassis and cabs, the wheel bearings were oil-packed onto the front axle rather than grease lubricated as specified. It was later determined that the caliper mounting bolts were not properly torqued and the proper end play adjustment was not made.
💥 The risk
This CAN cause the caliper mounting bolts to become loose and back out. The caliper could become disconnected from the rotor assembly which would cause a decrease in braking ability, increasing the risk of a crash.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will torque all affected caliper mounting bolts and readjust each wheel for the proper end play adjustment. The recall began on september 6, 2005. Owners should contact hino at 248-648-6400.
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.)
