What this recall means for you
Certain Hino NJ8J trucks from model years 2007 through 2014 do not have dust shields on the front brake assemblies. In wet conditions, the front brakes can become unevenly saturated with water, which may cause the vehicle to pull to the left during hard braking.
If the truck pulls left, it may drift into another lane without warning, which increases the risk of a crash. Drivers of these vehicles should be especially careful when braking hard on wet roads.
Hino will notify owners, and authorized dealers will install new brake drums with dust shields at no cost to you. You can contact Hino customer service at 1-248-699-9390 and reference recall number AACL0. You can also check your vehicle identification number (VIN) for open recalls.
