0 Hino 500 SERIES

Category: Heavy Vehicle · Supplier: Hino Motor Sales Australia

Recall date: 3 October 2017

Defect

The automatic transmission output flange may develop wear due to torque fluctuation of the engine and as a result of frequent acceleration and deceleration.

Hazard

This wear could allow the output flange bolt to come loose causing oil leakage and the transmission warning light to come on. In the worst case scenario, the driveshaft may detach from the vehicle while the vehicle is being operated. This may create an accident risk for the vehicle user and other road users or bystanders.
