What NHTSA recorded

Hino is recalling certain model year 2008-2010 nv8j trucks equipped with allison 3000 rds automatic transmission. The drive coupler bolts may not have been properly tightened at the factory due to the incorrect tool possibly being used during the manufacturing process.

Possible consequence

If the drive coupler bolts were to loosen it could cause a vibration in the driveline. If this vibration were ignored, the drive coupler bolts could shear and the coupling between the engine and torque converter would not transmit power. This ultimately could result in a crash.

Remedy

Hino will notify owners and dealers will repair the vehicles free of charge. The safety recall began on november 9, 2010. Owners may contact hino at 1-248-699-9330.
