Plain-English summary

Hino Motors Sales U.S.A., Inc. is recalling 468 model year 2022-2023 NE7A, NJ7A, NJ7B, and NV7A vehicles. These trucks are equipped with headlights recessed in the hood. The recall addresses a defect where the headlight back covers and anti-adjustment caps may have been improperly installed.

This defect can result in headlight failure or incorrect headlight adjustment. Such issues reduce visibility and increase the risk of a crash. Consequently, these vehicles fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 108, which governs lamps, reflective devices, and associated equipment.

Dealers will inspect the anti-adjustment caps and back covers, confirm the headlight aim, and install any missing caps or covers. All repairs will be performed free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on September 5, 2023. Owners may contact Hino customer service at 1-248-699-9390 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
