Overview

|---|---|
| Type | Statutory Recall (government-mandated recall) |
| Date filed | April 12, 2005 |
| Manufacturer(s) | Hino, Toyota |
| Component | Suspension Arm/Rod |
| Production period | December 15, 1995 — September 25, 2001 |
| Vehicles affected | 251 units |
Defect
The ball joint socket on the suspension lower arm has insufficient strength. Repeated driving over uneven road surfaces caused by snow accumulation or ice causes cracks to develop in the socket. Continued use allows the cracks to progress until the ball joint separates from the lower arm, rendering the vehicle inoperable.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the lower arm with a corrected part.
