Hino Recalls 2022-2024 Trucks Due to Telematics Ground Connection Fire Risk

Hino is recalling 2022-2024 trucks because a loose ground connection in the telematics unit may overheat, increasing the risk of a fire.

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 (electrical harness) that explicitly increases the risk of a fire, meeting the criteria for a Severe rating.
