Filing in context
The Wiring is the most frequently cited component category in this archive, appearing in 236 of its 4,890 filings. This filing is one of 34 Hino notifications from 2017 in this archive. For scale, 2,929 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 1 year and 6 months.
Defect
On large and medium-sized route buses, the junction between the driver's seat underfloor distribution box and the driver's side wall panel is improperly protected at its edges, allowing the wiring to contact those edges. Continued operation can damage the wiring insulation and cause a short circuit. In the worst case, the engine may stall while driving and cannot be restarted.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, inspect the junction between the driver's seat underfloor distribution box and the driver's side wall panel. Where edge protection is inadequate, add protective material. If the wiring is damaged, repair the wiring.
