What is wrong
HINO IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2010 TRUCKS. THE UPPER BOLT OF THE CENTER EXHAUST HANGER MAY NOT HAVE BEEN PROPERLY TIGHTENED DURING THE MANUFACTURING PROCESS. IF THE BOLTS WERE OVER TIGHTENED, THE BOLTS AND THE HANGER BRACKET MAY HAVE BEEN DAMAGED. THIS COULD CAUSE THE BOLT TO FAIL AND THUS THE EXHAUST SYSTEM WOULD NOT BE SUPPORTED AS DESIGNED.
What can happen
THIS CONDITION WOULD PLACE ADDITIONAL STRESS ON THE OTHER EXHAUST SUPPORT DEVICES AND COULD LEAD TO ADDITIONAL FAILURES. IF THIS CONDITION WERE UNDETECTED IT ULTIMATELY COULD RESULT IN THE EXHAUST SYSTEM SEPARATING FROM THE VEHICLE, THUS FALLING ONTO THE SURFACE OF THE ROADWAY. IF THIS FALLEN PORTION OF THE EXHAUST SYSTEM IS STRUCK BY A VEHICLE IT COULD ULTIMATELY RESULT IN 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.
