What's wrong

In the affected vehicles, components of the parking brake handle assembly may wear, resulting in either the parking brake unexpectedly releasing when engaged or preventing the parking brake from fully engaging.

The risk

Either parking brake condition may result in the vehicle rolling unexpectedly, increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix

Hino will notify owners, and dealers will install a new parking brake lever that contains a two-way damper and a roller at the cable joining pin, free of charge. The recall began February 2, 2015. Owners may contact Hino customer service at 1-248-699-9330. Hino's number for this recall is A9970. Note: This recall supersedes 13V-614.
