What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 3/5 (High).

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 risk-of-harm product where the defect (incorrect manual instructions) could lead to a crash, but no injuries or fatalities have been reported in the source text.

Hino Motors Sales U.S.A., Inc. is recalling certain 2026 model year NV7G, NV7D, NJ7E, NJ7D, NH7K, NE7D, and NH7G vehicles. The recall involves 661 vehicles.
