2005–2013 Hino NA6J & 2005–2013 Hino NB6J + 6 more recall: electrical system

⚠️ What's wrong

Hino is recalling certain model year 2005 through 2013 medium duty trucks, models NA6J, NB6J, NC6J, ND8J, NE8J, NJ8J, NF8J, and NV8J, manufactured from August 18, 2003, through November 16, 2011. Over time, the main B+ circuit from the battery to the starter could potentially short to ground due to wear that accumulates as a result of interference between the B+ circuit and its convoluted tubing sheath.

💥 The risk

If the B+ circuit shorts to ground, it may lead to a fire.
