What NHTSA recorded

On certain trucks equipped with bando belt tensioner, corrosion or rust may develop on the tensioner spindle or bushing causing the auto tensioner to become stiff or bind. This can cause the drive belt to suddenly come off or the auto tensioner mounting bolts could suddenly break.

Possible consequence

If the drive belt comes off, the alternator warning lamp will illuminate. If the warning is ignored, this condition could ultimately result in a loss of vehicle power (engine stall) increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy

Dealers will replace the auto tensioner, install upgraded mounting bolts, and replace the accessory drive belt free of charge. The recall began on april 25, 2007. Owners may contact hino motors at 248-648-6430. Note: this recall supersedes a previous campaign (please see 06v157).
