The Wiring is the most frequently cited component category in this archive, appearing in 236 of its 4,890 filings. This filing is one of 27 Hino notifications from 2004 in this archive. For scale, 2,766 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 4 years and 4 months.
Defect
On refuse collection vehicles in which the battery position has been relocated, the battery wiring is routed improperly. Engine vibration causes the positive cable to contact and chafe against the ground cable or chassis frame components. Continued use damages the insulation on the positive cable, resulting in a short circuit and smoke. In the worst case, a vehicle fire may occur.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, inspect the battery wiring. On Mitsubishi vehicles, add protective tubing and clamps at all interference points. On Hino and Toyota vehicles, reroute the wiring to maintain adequate clearance from chassis frame components. Any damaged battery wiring is to be repaired.
