The problem

Hino is recalling certain model 2012 nd8j, ne8j, nj8j, and nv8j commercial trucks manufactured from july 25, 2011, through september 16, 2011. During assembly, the wheel-end retainer on the front or rear axle may have been installed incorrectly.

The risk

The wheel-hub and axle shaft can separate from the vehicle, possibly resulting in a crash.

The fix

Hino will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the front axle assemblies and, if the axle is found to be incorrectly assembled, dealers will replace the wheel end retaining hardware free of charge. The safety recall began on april 19, 2012. Owners may contact hino at 1-248-699-9390.
