What NHTSA recorded

Hino is recalling certain model year 2009-2010 nv8j trucks. The u-joint attachment bolts may not have been properly tightened during the manufacturing process.

Possible consequence

If the bolts were to loosen it could cause a vibration in the driveline. If this vibration were ignored, the u-joint attachment bolts could shear and a portion of the propeller shaft could separate from the vehicle, thus falling onto the surface of the roadway and be struck by a vehicle resulting in a crash.
