Overview
| MLIT filing number | 1124200 |
|---|---|
| Type | Statutory Recall (government-mandated recall) |
| Date filed | December 3, 2009 |
| Manufacturer(s) | Hino |
| Component | Turbocharger |
| Production period | December 12, 2005 — September 2006 |
| Vehicles affected | 3,344 units |
Filing in context
The Turbocharger is the most frequently cited component category in this archive, appearing in 30 of its 4,890 filings. This filing is one of 29 Hino notifications from 2009 in this archive. For scale, 2,149 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 9 months.
Defect
The internal structure of the variable-nozzle turbocharger is improperly designed, causing the variable nozzle to fail to return correctly and generating excessive stress on the turbine blades. This reduces service life and may cause the turbine blades to fracture. Continued operation after fracture may produce white smoke and loss of engine output, rendering the vehicle inoperable.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, verify the part number of the turbocharger. On affected units, replace the turbocharger with the corrected part and reprogram the control software.
