Steering#2013464December 23, 2013
403 units affected
On certain vehicles, the steering wheel fastener nut may have been insufficiently tightened during vehicle assembly. This could allow the steering wheel to become loose and slip in relation to the steering column shaft, increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or property damage. Correction: Dealers will re-torque the steering wheel nut.

Hino Motors Sales U.S.A., Inc. (Hino) is recalling certain 2007-2019 NJ8J (258ALP) vehicles. These vehicles do not have dust shields on the front brake assemblies. During wet conditions, uneven water saturation on the front brake assemblies may result in the vehicle pulling to the left during hard braking.
Risk: If the vehicle pulls left, it may cross into another lane unexpectedly, increasing the risk of crash.
Remedy: Hino will notify owners, and dealers will install new brake drums with dust shields, free of charge. The recall began March 19, 2019. Owners may contact Hino customer service at 1-248-699-9390. Hino's number for this recall is AACL0.
