What this means for you

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect (parking brake failure) that increases the risk of a crash, meeting the criteria for a Severe rating.

Plain-English summary

Hino Motors Sales U.S.A., Inc. is recalling certain model year 2005-2015 Hino ND8J, NE8J, and NF8J trucks manufactured between August 26, 2003, and May 14, 2014. The recall involves 8,140 vehicles.

In the affected vehicles, components of the parking brake handle assembly may wear. This wear can result in the parking brake unexpectedly releasing when engaged or preventing the parking brake from fully engaging. Either condition may cause the vehicle to roll unexpectedly, increasing the risk of a crash.

Hino will notify owners, and dealers will install a new parking brake lever that contains a two-way damper and a roller at the cable joining pin, free of charge. The recall began on February 2, 2015. Owners may contact Hino customer service at 1-248-699-9330 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
