Hino Motors Sales U.S.A. is recalling 661 of its 2026 commercial trucks because the owner's manual contains incorrect instructions for retightening U-bolts. If maintenance is performed according to the faulty instructions, the U-bolts may be overtightened and eventually break. Dealers will provide a corrected owner's manual free of charge to all affected vehicle owners.
Overtightened U-bolts can snap while the vehicle is in operation, causing the axle and leaf springs to shift out of position. This sudden mechanical failure can lead to a loss of vehicle control and increases the risk of a crash.
Dealers will replace the owner's manual free of charge.
