What is wrong
HINO IS RECALLING 130 MY 2008-2009 ND8J, NE8J, NJ8J, AND NV8J CONVENTIONAL TRUCKS. THE REAR AXLE U-BOLTS WERE NOT PROPERLY TIGHTENED. THE LOWER SPRING SEAT MAY NOT CONTACT THE AXLE HOUSING PROPERLY, PRODUCING A GAP ON THE FRONT OR REAR SIDE OF THE AXLE HOUSING.

THIS GAP COULD ALLOW THE U-BOLTS TO LOOSEN AND/OR CAUSE THE LOWER SPRING SEAT TO CRACK. THE AXLE COULD BECOME MISALIGNED AND/OR SEPARATED FROM THE MOUNTINGS INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.

A recall means the maker found a safety problem and offers a free fix; it does not mean every unit has the problem. Units affected are as reported by the company. Popular models sell more and so have more recalls and complaints. Official public data; texts are shortened. A dealer can tell whether a single vehicle still needs the repair.
