What NHTSA recorded

On certain vehicles, during the stamping process, some crossmembers were manufactured with a deformation to the lower corners due to excessive wear of the stamping die. Over time, if this condition were ignored, the structural integrity of the crossmembers could be compromised which could result in a loss of braking ability, separation of the propeller shaft and/or a loss of rear warning lamps.

Possible consequence

Any of these occurrences could result in a crash.

Remedy

Dealers will inspect, correct, and replace the crossmembers. The recall began on december 4, 2006. Owners may contact hino at 1-248-648-6400.
