What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

ON CERTAIN TRUCK CAB AND CHASSIS VEHICLES, A BRAKE AIR LINE COULD BECOME DISCONNECTED.

The risk

THIS COULD CAUSE A DECREASE OF BRAKING ABILITY OR THE PARKING BRAKE TO APPLY WITHOUT BEING ACTIVATED, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.

The remedy

DEALERS WILL INSPECT EACH VEHICLE AND CHECK THE TORQUE ON THE NUTS. IF THE NUTS ARE NOT TORQUED PROPERLY, THEY WILL BE TIGHTENED TO THE PROPER SPECIFICATION. THE RECALL BEGAN ON JUNE 4, 2005. OWNERS MAY CONTACT HINO AT 1-248-648-6400.

A safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
