What's wrong

Hino Motor Sales U.S.A., Inc. (Hino) is recalling certain 2018-2019 NE8J, NJ8J and NV8J trucks. The terminal bolts that secure the main fuse terminals within the fuse block may not have been properly tightened, possibly resulting in electrical arcing and overheating, or an engine shutdown.

The risk

An electrical arc or overheating can increase the risk of a fire. An engine shutdown can increase the risk of a crash.

The fix

Hino will notify owners, and dealers will tighten any loose terminal bolts and replace any damaged electrical harness, free of charge. The recall began on March 10, 2018. Owners may contact Hino customer service at 1-248-699-9390. Hino's number for this recall is M0320.

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.safercar.gov.
