Filing in context
The Alternator is the most frequently cited component category in this archive, appearing in 13 of its 4,890 filings. This filing is one of 35 Hino notifications from 2020 in this archive. For scale, 856 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 2 years and 7 months.
Defect
On medium-duty trucks equipped with the 60A alternator, the shape of the insulating bush at the positive terminal is improper. When moisture containing road salt or snowmelt agent accumulates between the terminal and the alternator body, an electrical leak occurs. This causes the battery charge warning lamp to illuminate and the terminal area to sustain burn damage, resulting in a loss of charging function and possible engine stall.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the positive terminal with a corrected part and add waterproof tape to the insulating cap on the terminal wiring. If corrosion is found on the terminal wiring, replace it with repair wiring.
