Filing in context
The Power steering is the most frequently cited component category in this archive, appearing in 13 of its 4,890 filings. This is the only Hino notification from 1993 in this archive. For scale, 1,991 of the 4,890 filings in this archive report a larger number of affected vehicles; the vehicles involved here were manufactured over a span of about 1 year and 6 months.
Defect
On vehicles equipped with a power steering system for dual-front-axle configurations, the hydraulic hose for the auxiliary sub-booster — which reduces steering effort for the second front axle — was installed in an excessively bent condition on certain vehicles. Repeated full-lock steering maneuvers may damage the hose and, in the worst case, cause power steering fluid to leak, resulting in a severe increase in steering effort.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the hydraulic hose and, on U-FW series vehicles only, replace the sub-booster with the corrected parts, and add a hydraulic pipe.
