20V244000

Date: 2020-04-30. Systems: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM.

Defect: Hino Motors Sales U.S.A., Inc. (Hino) is recalling certain 2020-2021 NV8J, NJ8J, NE8J, NJ8A, NV8A, NE8A, NE8G, NJ8C, NE8C, and NV8G trucks. The ground cable that connects the negative battery terminal to the frame may be too short and may break as a result. (excerpt)

Consequence: If the ground cable breaks, the engine cannot be re-started to move the vehicle to a safe area, increasing the risk of a crash. (excerpt)

Remedy: Hino will notify owners, and dealers will install an extension bracket to the negative battery terminal and inspect the ground cable terminal for damage, replacing the cable if damage is found, free of charge. Owners will be notified of the safety risk with an interim letter Mid-June 2020. The recall began June 26, 2020. Owners may contact Hino customer service at 1-248-699-9390. Hino's number (excerpt)

Notes on this record

  • Complaints from the API and bulk file are merged and deduplicated by ODI number; the API alone misses records.
  • System and subsystem counts are numbers of distinct complaints, recalls or communications that name them. One record can name several systems, so shares across systems can add to more than 100 percent; a single share never exceeds 100 percent.
  • Recalls are counted once per campaign, investigations once per action and manufacturer communications once per NHTSA id, even when NHTSA lists several model names for the same record.
  • A sales denominator is a calendar-year proxy, not the population of vehicles still in use. Rates are copied from verified pipeline output.
  • NHTSA's complaints API and bulk file list no complaint for this make, model and model year in this data build.
