⚠️ What's wrong
Hino is recalling certain model 2012 ND8J, NE8J, NJ8J, and NV8J commercial trucks manufactured from july 25, 2011, through september 16, 2011. During assembly, the wheel-end retainer on the front or rear axle may have been installed incorrectly.
💥 The risk
The wheel-hub and axle shaft CAN separate from the vehicle, possibly resulting in a crash.
🔧 The fix
Hino will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the front axle assemblies and, if the axle is found to be incorrectly assembled, dealers will replace the wheel end retaining hardware free of charge. The safety recall began on april 19, 2012. Owners may contact hino at 1-248-699-9390.
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.)
