2009–2010 Hino NV8J recall: powertrain & transmission
⚠️ What's wrong
Hino is recalling certain model year 2009-2010 NV8J trucks. The u-joint attachment 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 u-joint attachment bolts could shear and a portion of the propeller shaft could separate from the vehicle, thus falling onto the surface of the roadway and be struck by a vehicle resulting in a crash.
🔧 The fix
Hino will notify owners and dealers will repair the vehicles free of charge. The safety recall began on november 9, 2010. Owners may contact hino at 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.)
