Filing in context
The Horn is the most frequently cited component category in this archive, appearing in 13 of its 4,890 filings. This filing is one of 28 Hino notifications from 2022 in this archive. For scale, 854 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 5 months.
Defect
On medium-duty trucks, the horn body is made of an unsuitable material. When moisture containing road de-icing agents enters through gaps in the inner fender and contacts the horn, the horn's internal components may corrode. As a result, the horn may fail to operate.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the horn with the corrected part. On some vehicles, also apply sealant to the gaps in the inner fender.
