Filing in context
The Propeller Shaft is the most frequently cited component category in this archive, appearing in 52 of its 4,890 filings. This filing is one of 20 Hino notifications from 2008 in this archive. For scale, 2,384 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 7 months.
Defect
An improper manufacturing process for the propeller shaft has resulted in cracks at the weld joint between the pipe and the spline shaft on some units. Continued use allows the cracks to propagate. In the worst case, the propeller shaft may fracture and detach, rendering the vehicle inoperable.
Corrective action
Replace the propeller shaft with a conforming unit on all vehicles.
