2006–2007 Hino ND8J & 2006–2007 Hino NE8J + 2 more recall: body & structure
⚠️ What's wrong
On certain vehicles, during the stamping process, some crossmembers were manufactured with a deformation to the lower corners due to excessive wear of the stamping die. Over time, if this condition were ignored, the structural integrity of the crossmembers could be compromised which could result in a loss of braking ability, separation of the propeller shaft and/or a loss of rear warning lamps.
💥 The risk
Any of these occurrences could result in a crash.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will inspect, correct, and replace the crossmembers. The recall began on december 4, 2006. Owners may contact hino at 1-248-648-6400.
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.)
