NHTSA recall campaign
23V541000
What was wrong
Defect
Hino Motors Sales U.S.A., Inc. (Hino) is recalling certain 2022-2023 NE7A, NJ7A, NJ7B and NV7A vehicles, equipped with headlights that are recessed in the hood. The headlight back covers, and anti-adjustment caps may have been improperly installed, which can result in headlight failure, or the headlights being adjusted incorrectly. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."
Risk
Headlight failure or incorrectly adjusted headlights can reduce visibility and increasing the risk of a crash.
Manufacturer remedy
Dealers will inspect the anti-adjustment caps and back covers. In addition, dealers will confirm the headlight aim, and install any missing caps or covers. All repairs will be performed free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed September 5, 2023. Owners may contact Hino customer service at 1-248-699-9390. Hino's number for this recall is M0430.
