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 26 Hino notifications from 2011 in this archive. For scale, 2,072 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 8 years and 2 months.
Defect
The weld joint between the propeller shaft pipe and spline shaft has insufficient design strength. During the post-weld straightening process, micro-cracks may form at the weld. Continued use allows these cracks to propagate. In the worst case, the propeller shaft fractures and separates from the vehicle, rendering it inoperable.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the propeller shaft with a corrected part.
