Hino Motors Sales U.S.A., Inc. (Hino) is recalling one 2021 NJ8A vehicle. The end fittings on the replacement air brake hose assembly may not have the manufacturer designation. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 106, "Brake Hoses."

20V383000·SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:ANTILOCK:CONTROL UNIT/MODULE2020-07-01

Hino Motors Sales U.S.A., Inc. (Hino) is recalling certain 2021 NJ8A low-profile heavy trucks equipped with a full air brake system. The Anti-Lock Braking System control unit (ABS ECU) may be programmed with incorrect datasets for the tone ring teeth, causing the anti-lock braking system to mistakenly detect a difference between front and rear wheel rotation speeds resulting in deactivation of the Anti-Lock Braking function. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 121, "Air Brake Systems."

RiskA loss of ABS function can increase the risk of a crash.

FixHino will notify owners, and dealers will reprogram the ABS-ECU with the corrected software. The recall began August 25, 2020. Owners may contact Hino customer service at 1-248-699-9390. Hino's number for this recall is AAJS0.
