2006 Cable Car Trolley BUS & 2009 Hino ND8J + 3 more recall: suspension
⚠️ What's wrong
Hino is recalling 130 my 2008-2009 ND8J, NE8J, NJ8J, and NV8J conventional trucks. The rear axle u-bolts were not properly tightened. The lower spring seat may not contact the axle housing properly, producing a gap on the front or rear side of the axle housing.
💥 The risk
This gap could allow the u-bolts to loosen and/or cause the lower spring seat to crack. The axle could become misaligned and/or separated from the mountings increasing the risk of a crash.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will inspect the rear air suspension lower spring seat for a gap between the rear axle and lower spring seat. The u-bolts will be tightened to the specified torque. The recall began on january 19, 2009. Owners may contact hino at 1-248-699-9330.
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.)
