Hino Motors Sales U.S.A., Inc. is recalling approximately 64 of its 2023 NE7A, NJ7A, and NV7A vehicles because the front axle U-bolts may have been over-tightened during assembly. This defect can cause the U-bolts that secure the front leaf spring assembly to break and detach from the vehicle. Authorized dealers will replace the affected front axle U-bolts and upper seats free of charge to ensure the assembly is properly secured.
If the U-bolts break, the front axle may shift or detach, causing a sudden loss of vehicle handling and steering control, which significantly increases the risk of a crash.
