Hino recall: Hybrid propulsion system
What is wrong
Hino Motor Sales U.S.A., Inc. (Hino) is recalling certain model year 2012-2015 Hino XFC vehicles manufactured August 27, 2011, to November 7, 2014. In the affected vehicles, the output shaft of the Hybrid Vehicle (HV) motor may break.
What could happen
If the output shaft breaks during vehicle operation, the vehicle may stop moving under its own power, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash.
The fix
Hino will notify owners, and dealers will replace the HV motor with one that has a stronger output shaft, free of charge. The recall began February 6, 2015. Owners may contact Hino customer service at 1-248-699-9300. Hino's number for this recall is A9930.
