Service brakesReported January 18, 2019 · 7,231 vehicles affected

What is wrong: Hino Motors Sales U.S.A., Inc. (Hino) is recalling certain 2007-2019 NJ8J (258ALP) vehicles. These vehicles do not have dust shields on the front brake assemblies.

Risk: If the vehicle pulls left, it may cross into another lane unexpectedly, increasing the risk of crash.
Remedy: Hino will notify owners, and dealers will install new brake drums with dust shields, free of charge. The recall began March 19, 2019. Owners may contact Hino customer service at 1‑248‑699‑9390. Hino's number for this recall is AACL0.
