Hino Recalls 2011 NE8J and NJ8J Trucks for Transmission Park Feature Defect

Hino is recalling 2011 NE8J and NJ8J trucks because the reverse idler shaft may bind the park feature, preventing it from engaging.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect where the transmission park feature may fail to engage, posing a risk of injury or property damage, but no specific injuries or fatalities are reported in the source text.

Plain-English summary

Hino Motors Sales U.S.A., Inc. is recalling certain model year 2011 NE8J and NJ8J trucks manufactured between June 1, 2010, and December 10, 2010. These vehicles are equipped with certain Eaton transmissions that include a park feature.

The defect involves the reverse idler shaft potentially contacting the park feature, causing the components to bind. This binding prevents the park feature from engaging. If a brake is not used or is defective, and the park pawl does not engage, the vehicle may be able to move, potentially causing injury to the operator or persons in the vicinity or damage to property.

Hino will notify owners and repair all vehicles that contain this condition free of charge. The safety recall began on March 1, 2011. Owners may contact Hino at 248-699-9330 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
