The problem
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.
