⚠️ What's wrong
Hino is recalling 1,195 my 2007-2009 NV8J trucks. During the manufacturing process, the propeller shaft bolts may not have been properly tightened during the manufacturing process.
💥 The risk
If the bolts were to loosen, it could cause a vibration in the driveline. If this vibration were ignored, the propeller shaft could separate from the mating flange. This could potentially result in damage to property and/or result in a crash.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will replace the propeller shaft bolts. The recall began on october 14, 2008. Owners may contact hino at 1-248-699-9300.
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.)
