2023 Hino NE7A & 2023 Hino NJ7A + 1 more recall: suspension
⚠️ What's wrong
Hino Motors Sales U.S.A., Inc. (Hino) is recalling certain 2023 NE7A, NJ7A, and NV7A vehicles. The front axle U-bolts that secure the front leaf spring assembly may be over-tightened, which can cause the U-bolts to break and detach.
💥 The risk
Broken U-bolts can result in a loss of vehicle handling and control, increasing the risk of a crash.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will replace the front axle U-bolts and upper seats, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed July 31, 2023. Owners may contact Hino customer service at 1-248-699-9390. Hino's number for this recall is M0420.
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.)
