Overview
| MLIT filing number | 1108390 |
|---|---|
| Type | Statutory Recall (government-mandated recall) |
| Date filed | May 28, 2002 |
| Manufacturer(s) | Hino |
| Component | Speedometer |
| Production period | September 1998 — January 31, 2002 |
| Vehicles affected | 361 units |
Defect
The electrical wiring in the speedometer circuit has insufficient waterproofing. Water that enters the wiring can reach the vehicle speed sensor connector, causing the terminals to rust. Rust on the terminals produces an unstable vehicle speed signal, and the speedometer may display an incorrect reading.
Corrective action
1) On all vehicles, replace the affected electrical wiring with a corrected part. 2) On all vehicles, inspect the vehicle speed sensor connector terminals. If rust is present, replace the vehicle speed sensor with a new unit. If no rust is present, clean the terminals and pack them with grease.
