- The defect
- Hino Motors Sales U.S.A., Inc. (Hino) is recalling certain 2020 NE8J, NJ8J, NV8J, NH1A, NV1A and TH1A vehicles. The mirror glass may not be bonded properly to the carrier plate, allowing it to detach.
- What it can cause
- Detached mirror glass can reduce driver visibility, or become a road hazard to other drivers. Either of these scenarios can increase the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Hino will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the mirror production date, and replace it if necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on May 7, 2021. Owners may contact Hino customer service at 1-248-699-9390. Hino's number for this recall is M0340. This recall supersedes previous NHTSA recall number 19V-564.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .

How this campaign compares
At 4,848 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 74% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers one model year, 2020, so the oldest vehicles on it were one model year old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Hino vehicles have been recalled over the visibility 2 times before this, most recently in July 2019 as 19V564000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry one other recall published here: 20V244000 (electrical system).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Hino Motors Sales U.S.A., Inc. with NHTSA on March 8, 2021 as campaign 21V146000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
