2023 Hino NE7A, Hino NJ7A, Hino NV7A: Suspension recall
NHTSA campaign 23V457000 · 64 units potentially affected · filed Jun 29, 2023
What's wrong
Hino Motors Sales U.S.A., Inc. (Hino) is recalling certain 2023 NE7A, NJ7A, and NV7A vehicles. The front axle U-bolts that secure the front leaf spring assembly may be over-tightened, which can cause the U-bolts to break and detach.
Why it matters
Broken U-bolts can result in a loss of vehicle handling and control, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
Dealers will replace the front axle U-bolts and upper seats, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed July 31, 2023. Owners may contact Hino customer service at 1-248-699-9390. Hino's number for this recall is M0420.
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
