Filing in context
The Cooling System is the most frequently cited component category in this archive, appearing in 34 of its 4,890 filings. This filing is one of 45 Hino notifications from 2012 in this archive. For scale, 3,561 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 6 years and 4 months.
Defect
On large touring buses, the lower bracket securing the hydraulic fan drive oil reservoir tank was incorrectly manufactured using material that is thinner than specified. Vibration during driving causes cracks to develop in the upper bracket. Continued operation progresses the cracking to the lower bracket and the oil reservoir tank itself and, in the worst case, the oil reservoir tank may detach from the vehicle.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the lower bracket with a conforming part and the upper bracket with a new part, and replace all associated bolts and nuts with new hardware.
