Filing in context
The Other (Body/Frame) is the most frequently cited component category in this archive, appearing in 28 of its 4,890 filings. This filing is one of 12 Hino notifications from 2003 in this archive. For scale, 2,744 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 3 months.
Issue
The dump body control lever is improperly machined, preventing the spring that returns the lever's lock-release button from being securely retained. The spring may deform, causing the lock-release button to stick in the released position. In the worst case, the lever may move inadvertently, causing the dump body to lower without operator input.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, inspect the dump body control lever and replace any defective unit with a conforming part.
