Defect description

Hino Motors Sales U.S.A., Inc. (Hino) is recalling certain 2020-2021 NV8J, NJ8J, NE8J, NJ8A, NV8A, NE8A, NE8G, NJ8C, NE8C, and NV8G trucks. The ground cable that connects the negative battery terminal to the frame may be too short and may break as a result.

Owners will be notified of the safety risk with an interim letter Mid-June 2020. The recall began June 26, 2020. Owners may contact Hino customer service at 1-248-699-9390.
