Defect

Hino Motors Sales U.S.A., Inc. (Hino) is recalling certain 2020-2021 NV8J, NJ8J, NE8J, NJ8A, NV8A, NE8A, NE8G, NJ8C, NE8C, and NV8G trucks. The ground cable that connects the negative battery terminal to the frame may be too short and may break as a result.

Safety risk

If the ground cable breaks, the engine cannot be re-started to move the vehicle to a safe area, increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy

Hino will notify owners, and dealers will install an extension bracket to the negative battery terminal and inspect the ground cable terminal for damage, replacing the cable if damage is found, free of charge. Owners will be notified of the safety risk with an interim letter Mid-June 2020. The recall began June 26, 2020. Owners may contact Hino customer service at 1-248-699-9390. Hino's number for this recall is AAHT0.
