| Defect Summary | On certain cab and chassis trucks that were transported to the selling location or body company using a decking system (vehicles stacked on the rear of the lead truck for transport), the air brake lines may be disconnected so that the braking systems can be tied together with the other vehicles. when these vehicles arrive at their destination, the air brake lines are reconnected. these reconnections were not always being tightened to the proper torque. also, during this reconnection process, some of the abs wiring clips had been removed and not reinstalled. | |||||||||||||||
| Consequence Summary | Loose air brake lines can become disconnected or leak which could cause a decrease in braking ability or resulting in application of the parking brake without it being activated. this could result in a crash. also if the drive shaft bolts are left loose, the drive shaft could become disengaged making the vehicle immovable. if the abs sensors are not secured properly using the correct clips, the abs sensors could go out of alignment. | |||||||||||||||
| Corrective Summary | Dealers will inspect the air brake lines, drive shaft bolts and abs sensor clips and tighten and repair if necessary. the recall began on september 15, 2006. owners may contact hino at 1-248-648-6430. | |||||||||||||||

| Defect Summary | On certain trucks, during assembly, the drag link attachment nuts at the pitman arm and steering arm may have been incorrectly torqued. residual grease and paint which was applied as a rust inhibitor on the steering arm may have contributed to a loss of torque after assembly. | |||||||||||||||

| 03/21/2007 | 206000 | 1 | 07/11/2006 |
| I was driving about 25mph i had my auto gear selector in 4 gear, and the exhaust brake was set on. while slowing for a traffic light it seemed as if the automatic transmission was locked into second gear. the exhaust brake was coming off and on in rapid succession. i was pushing pressure on the brakes. i shifted the auto gear selector down to 2nd and pushed the brake as hard as i could. the truck slowed to less than 5mph but the transmission would not disengage, which resulted in a slow speed rear end collision. at the point of impact my transmission disengaged. the police arrived and directed us to move our vehicles out of traffic. this time while driving a shot distance with the exhaust brake off the same condition occurred at a stop sign, luckily there was nobody in front of me and i tried pumping the brakes a few times which stopped the problem. i have yet to visit a dealer because of the holiday. it seems to me that the lock-up torque converter wouldn't release and that is why the tranny wouldn't coast as normal. at least that my guess. the tranny is an allison 3000rds. *tr | |||
