The problem
Hino is recalling certain model year 2011 ne8j vehicles. The front axle outer wheel bearing cone rollers may not have been properly heat treated. The suspect bearing cones have the date code "zj" on the major face of the inner bearing race just following the "canada" stamp.
The risk
Without heat treating, a bearing may suffer pre-mature failure which may result in a fire at the wheel or wheel separation that could lead to a crash.
The fix
Hino will notify owners and repair the vehicles free of charge. The safety recall began on april 19, 2012. Owners may contact hino motors at 1-248-699-9330.
