What this recall means for you
The fuel level sensor float in certain Hino trucks may deform and detach. When this happens, the fuel gauge can show an inaccurate reading, so the driver may not know how much fuel remains.
If the gauge reads higher than the actual fuel level, the vehicle could unexpectedly run out of fuel and stall, which increases the risk of a crash.
Authorized Hino dealers will replace the fuel sender gauge free of charge. Owners can contact Hino customer service at 1-248-699-9390 and should check their VIN for open recalls.
