NHTSA Campaign 08V613000

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE

Issued by HINO MOTORS SALES U.S.A., INC. · Reported Nov 24, 2008 · 3,836 vehicles affected

What's wrong

HINO IS RECALLING 3,836 MY 2008 ND8J, NE8J, NJ8J, AND NV8J CLASS 6 AND 7, CONVENTIONAL CAB, MEDIUM DUTY TRUCKS EQUIPED WITH J08E-TV OR J08E-TW ENGINES. THERE IS AN IMPROPER SHAPE OF THE SUPPLY PUMP COUPLER LOCATED BETWEEN THE SUPPLY PUMP AND THE AIR COMPRESSOR. THE COUPLING MAY CRACK, THE GEAR TRAIN AND VALVES OF THE ENGINE COULD BREAK, AND THE ENGINE COULD STOP RUNNING.

Consequence

THIS WOULD DISABLE THE POWER STEERING SYSTEM, STOP THE SUPPLY OF AIR TO THE AIR TANK, AND MAY RESULT IN INSUFFICIENT BRAKING POWER, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.

Remedy

DEALERS WILL REPAIR THE COUPLING. THE RECALL BEGAN ON JANUARY 5, 2009. OWNERS MAY CONTACT HINO AT 1-248-699-9330.
