Hino is recalling 2012-2015 XFC vehicles because the hybrid motor output shaft may break, potentially causing the vehicle to stop moving and increasing crash risk.
What this means for you
Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 4/5 (Severe).
The hazard poses a serious risk of illness, injury, or structural failure. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.
Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect (hybrid motor output shaft) that can cause the vehicle to stop moving, increasing the risk of a crash, which aligns with the 'Severe' criteria for structural defects or significant injury reports.
Plain-English summary
Hino Motors Sales U.S.A., Inc. is recalling certain model year 2012-2015 Hino XFC vehicles manufactured between August 27, 2011, and November 7, 2014. The recall involves 691 vehicles equipped with a hybrid propulsion system.
In the affected vehicles, the output shaft of the Hybrid Vehicle (HV) motor may break. If the output shaft breaks during vehicle operation, the vehicle may stop moving under its own power, which increases the risk of a vehicle crash.
Hino will notify owners, and dealers will replace the HV motor with one that has a stronger output shaft, free of charge. The recall began on February 6, 2015. Owners may contact Hino customer service at 1-248-699-9300 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
