- The defect
- Hino Motors Sales U.S.A., Inc. (Hino) is recalling certain 2026 NV7G, NV7D, NJ7E, NJ7D, NH7K, NE7D, and NH7G vehicles. The owner's manual may include incorrect maintenance instructions about how to retighten U-bolts.
- What it can cause
- Referencing incorrect information may lead to unintentionally overtightening the U-bolts. The bolts can break, shifting the axle and leaf springs and increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will replace the owner's manual, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed April 9, 2026. Owners may contact Hino customer service at 1-248-699-9390. Hino's number for this recall is M0490.
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 661 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 54% 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, 2026, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2026, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
Hino vehicles have been recalled over the equipment 5 times before this, most recently in June 2019 as 19V428000. 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 March 23, 2026 as campaign 26V175000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
