- The defect
- Hino Motors Sales U.S.A., Inc. (Hino) is recalling certain 2020-2024 NE7A, NE7B, NE8A, NH9A, NJ7A, NJ7B, NJ8A, NJ8J, NV7A, NV7B, and NV8A vehicles equipped with 70 or 90 gallon fuel tanks. The fuel sender float may deform and detach, which can lead to an inaccurate fuel gauge reading.
- What it can cause
- An inaccurate fuel gauge may result in the vehicle unexpectedly running out of fuel and stalling, increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will replace the fuel sender gauge, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed October 5, 2023. Owners may contact Hino customer service at 1-248-699-9390. Hino's number for this recall is AAV70.
- 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.nhtsa.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 .
| Vehicle | Model years | Safety record |

How this campaign compares
At 8,025 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 78% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2020 to 2024, so the oldest vehicles on it were 3 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Hino vehicles have been recalled over the electrical system 5 times before this, most recently in January 2023 as 23V017000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
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 August 8, 2023 as campaign 23V560000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
