Filing in context
The Exhaust pipe is the most frequently cited component category in this archive, appearing in 32 of its 4,890 filings. This filing is one of 43 Hino notifications from 2018 in this archive. For scale, 4,369 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 10 months.
Defect
During emissions testing of sample engines for light-duty trucks, an improper method of securing the exhaust pipe to the test facility equipment applies bending stress to the pipe that would not occur in normal vehicle installation. This causes cracks to develop at the pipe's weld joints. Exhaust gas and fuel used for DPR (Diesel Particulate Removal device) regeneration may leak from the cracked areas.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the affected pipe with a new part.
