ON CERTAIN CHASSIS AND CABS, THE WHEEL BEARINGS WERE OIL-PACKED ONTO THE FRONT AXLE RATHER THAN GREASE LUBRICATED AS SPECIFIED. IT WAS LATER DETERMINED THAT THE CALIPER MOUNTING BOLTS WERE NOT PROPERLY TORQUED AND THE PROPER END PLAY ADJUSTMENT WAS NOT MADE.
Consequence
THIS CAN CAUSE THE CALIPER MOUNTING BOLTS TO BECOME LOOSE AND BACK OUT. THE CALIPER COULD BECOME DISCONNECTED FROM THE ROTOR ASSEMBLY WHICH WOULD CAUSE A DECREASE IN BRAKING ABILITY, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
Remedy
DEALERS WILL TORQUE ALL AFFECTED CALIPER MOUNTING BOLTS AND READJUST EACH WHEEL FOR THE PROPER END PLAY ADJUSTMENT. THE RECALL BEGAN ON SEPTEMBER 6, 2005. OWNERS SHOULD CONTACT HINO AT 248-648-6400.

Steering: Linkages05/18/200606V169000
ON CERTAIN TRUCKS, DURING ASSEMBLY, THE DRAG LINK ATTACHMENT NUTS AT THE PITMAN ARM AND STEERING ARM MAY HAVE BEEN INCORRECTLY TORQUED. RESIDUAL GREASE AND PAINT WHICH WAS APPLIED AS A RUST INHIBITOR ON THE STEERING ARM MAY HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO A LOSS OF TORQUE AFTER ASSEMBLY.
Consequence
INCREASED WEAR FOR THE DRAGLINK CONNECTIONS CAN OCCUR CREATING A NOTICEABLE INCREASE IN THE AMOUNT OF STEERING WHEEL FREE PLAY. IF THIS CONDITION WAS IGNORED, A LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE COULD OCCUR WHICH COULD RESULT IN A CRASH.
Remedy
DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE STEERING ARM TIGHTNESS AND REMOVE ALL GREASE AND PAINT FROM THE STEERING ARMS AND RETORQUE THE DRAGLINK ATTACHMENT NUTS AT THE STEERING ARM AND PITMAN ARM. THE RECALL BEGAN ON MAY 12, 2006. OWNERS MAY CONTACT HINO AT 1-248-648-6430.
