Transport Canada recalls

Fuel System#2023443August 9, 2023
1,286 units affected
Issue: On certain trucks, the fuel gauge float inside the fuel tank could detach. If this happens, the fuel gauge would not display the correct fuel level. As a result, the driver may be unaware of how much fuel is in the tank, and the vehicle could run out of fuel and stall. Note: This recall only affects trucks equipped with a 265 L or 340 L fuel tank. Safety Risk: A sudden loss of engine power could increase the risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: Hino will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your truck to a dealership to replace the fuel sender.
Electrical#2020190May 1, 2020
1,795 units affected
Issue: On certain vehicles, the cable that connects the negative battery terminal to the frame may be too short and could break. If this happens, it will not be possible to start the engine. Safety Risk: In certain situations, a vehicle that cannot be re-started could create an increased risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: Hino will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your truck to a dealer to install an extension bracket on the negative battery terminal. Dealers will also inspect the ground cable terminal for damage. If damage is found, the cable will be replaced.
