Hino Motors Sales U.S.A. – LOOSE AIR BRAKE LINES

ON CERTAIN CAB AND CHASSIS TRUCKS THAT WERE TRANSPORTED TO THE SELLING LOCATION OR BODY COMPANY USING A DECKING SYSTEM (VEHICLES STACKED ON THE REAR OF THE LEAD TRUCK FOR TRANSPORT), THE AIR BRAKE LINES MAY BE DISCONNECTED SO THAT THE BRAKING SYSTEMS CAN BE TIED TOGETHER WITH THE OTHER VEHICLES. WHEN THESE VEHICLES ARRIVE AT THEIR DESTINATION, THE AIR BRAKE LINES ARE RECONNECTED. THESE RECONNECTIONS WERE NOT ALWAYS BEING TIGHTENED TO THE PROPER TORQUE. ALSO, DURING THIS RECONNECTION PROCESS, SOME OF THE ABS WIRING CLIPS HAD BEEN REMOVED AND NOT REINSTALLED.

What the owner should do?

If you read about a recall that you think may affect your car, you should make immediate contact with a dealer or workshop that’s been officially authorised to perform repairs on behalf of the manufacturer and ask for the details.

If you wish to know more about eventual problems of a specific car (e.g. real mileage, potential traffic accidents damages, odometer rollback, repairs, etc.), then we suggest going to HPI-Check.
