Defect
On certain chassis and cabs, the wheel bearings were oil-packed onto the front axle rather than grease lubricated as specified. It was later determined that the caliper mounting bolts were not properly torqued and the proper end play adjustment was not made.
Safety risk
This can cause the caliper mounting bolts to become loose and back out. The caliper could become disconnected from the rotor assembly which would cause a decrease in braking ability, increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy
Dealers will torque all affected caliper mounting bolts and readjust each wheel for the proper end play adjustment. The recall began on september 6, 2005. Owners should contact hino at 248-648-6400.
