Risk markers carried in the record

No park-it or park-outside warning is flagged in this vehicle's collected record. This does not establish that the vehicle is defect-free or that every notice is included.

The markers above summarize fields available in this dataset. A missing marker is not a safety finding. Recall status and remedy eligibility can depend on vehicle identification number, equipment, production date, and whether a repair has already been completed.

Recall distribution by component

4 component categories

Counts and shares use the vehicle-level recall records shown below. The horizontal bar is scaled to the largest category on this page.
ComponentCampaignsShareRelative volume
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM240.0%
SUSPENSION120.0%
PARKING BRAKE120.0%
STEERING120.0%

Component labels follow the source record's component field. Where the source includes a more detailed subcomponent after a colon, this distribution groups the record under the first component segment. Shares are calculated against 5 campaigns and rounded to one decimal place, so displayed percentages may not sum to exactly 100 percent.

Recall dates by calendar year

4 calendar years

These are recall notice dates, not vehicle model years.

The timeline groups campaign records by their reported recall date. This explains why the date range (2005–2012) can begin before or end after model year 2006. The underlying vehicle may be covered by notices issued in several different calendar years.

Summary
Hino is recalling certain model year 2005 through 2013 medium duty trucks, models NA6J, NB6J, NC6J, ND8J, NE8J, NJ8J, NF8J, and NV8J, manufactured from August 18, 2003, through November 16, 2011. Over time, the main B+ circuit from the battery to the starter could potentially short to ground due to wear that accumulates as a result of interference between the B+ circuit and its convoluted tubing sheath.

Consequence
If the B+ circuit shorts to ground, it may lead to a fire.

Remedy
Hino will notify owners, and dealers will repair the vehicles free of charge. The recall began on January 17, 2013. Owners may contact Hino at 1-248-699-9390.

Summary
HINO IS RECALLING 16,805 MY 2005-2008 NA6J, NB6J, NC6J, ND8J, NE8J, NJ8J, AND NV8J TRUCKS. THE TWO VERTICAL RIGHT/LEFT SIDE FRONT SPRING BRACKET BOLTS WERE NOT TIGHTENED PROPERLY DURING THE ASSEMBLY PROCESS. THIS MAY CAUSE INCREASED STRESS ON THE SPRING BRACKET WHICH CAN LEAD TO CRACKING OF THE BRACKET.

Consequence
THIS COULD REDUCE STEERING CONTROL INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.

Remedy
DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE VERTICAL FRONT SPRING BRACKET ATTACHMENT BOLTS ON RIGHT/LEFT HANGER BRACKETS AND RE-TORQUE ALL ASSOCIATED BOLTS FREE OF CHARGE. THE RECALL BEGAN ON SEPTEMBER 8, 2008. OWNERS MAY CONTACT HINO AT 248-699-9300.

Summary
ON CERTAIN CONVENTIONAL TRUCKS EQUIPPED WITH THE AISIN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, THE PARKING BRAKE CABLE AND AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SHIFTER CABLE MAY HAVE BEEN ROUTED INCORRECTLY. THIS MIS-ASSEMBLY COULD CAUSE CHAFING OF THE PARKING BRAKE CABLE AND EVENTUAL FAILURE OF THE CABLE.

Consequence
FAILURE OF THE PARKING BRAKE CABLE WILL LEAD TO THE FAILURE OF THE TRUCK'S PARKING BRAKE. THIS COULD RESULT IN THE TRUCK ROLLING AWAY WHILE PARKED WHICH COULD RESULT IN A CRASH.

Remedy
HINO WILL INSPECT, CORRECT AND REPLACE THE PARKING BRAKE CABLE AND THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SHIFTER CABLE. THE RECALL BEGAN ON NOVEMBER 9, 2006. OWNERS MAY CONTACT HINO AT 1-248-648-6400.

Summary
ON CERTAIN TRUCKS, DURING ASSEMBLY, THE DRAG LINK ATTACHMENT NUTS AT THE PITMAN ARM AND STEERING ARM MAY HAVE BEEN INCORRECTLY TORQUED. RESIDUAL GREASE AND PAINT WHICH WAS APPLIED AS A RUST INHIBITOR ON THE STEERING ARM MAY HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO A LOSS OF TORQUE AFTER ASSEMBLY.

Consequence
INCREASED WEAR FOR THE DRAGLINK CONNECTIONS CAN OCCUR CREATING A NOTICEABLE INCREASE IN THE AMOUNT OF STEERING WHEEL FREE PLAY. IF THIS CONDITION WAS IGNORED, A LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE COULD OCCUR WHICH COULD RESULT IN A CRASH.

Remedy
DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE STEERING ARM TIGHTNESS AND REMOVE ALL GREASE AND PAINT FROM THE STEERING ARMS AND RETORQUE THE DRAGLINK ATTACHMENT NUTS AT THE STEERING ARM AND PITMAN ARM. THE RECALL BEGAN ON MAY 12, 2006. OWNERS MAY CONTACT HINO AT 1-248-648-6430.

No other HINO model-year record is present in this dataset.

This comparison is calculated from vehicle records for the same make and model year in this snapshot. It is a simple arithmetic average, not an industry benchmark. A model may appear under more than one configuration in the source data, and campaign counts do not indicate the probability that a specific vehicle has an unresolved defect.

Data source and interpretation

NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation, retrieved 2026-11-01. Recall records reflect manufacturer reports submitted to NHTSA. Absence of a recall here does not mean a vehicle is defect-free.

This page reports 5 campaign records, groups them into 4 component categories, and places the notice dates into these calendar years: 2005: 1; 2006: 2; 2008: 1; 2012: 1. These are derived views of the supplied records, not additional findings from NHTSA.

The collection includes model-year records with one or more recalls. It is not a complete vehicle history, VIN eligibility result, repair-status check, safety rating, or guarantee that the source has no later updates. Confirm current campaign details and vehicle applicability with official NHTSA information and the manufacturer.
