This notice applies to your vehicle: VIN:
Dear Hino Truck Owner:
This notice is being sent to you in accordance with the requirements of the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act. Hino has determined that a defect, which relates to motor vehicle safety, exists in certain 2020 conventional trucks. You received this notice because our records, which are based primarily on state registration and title data, indicate that you are the current owner.
What is the Condition?
Mirror glass may separate from the mirror carrier plate on mirror assemblies for 2020 Hino Medium Duty Trucks Models: NE8J, NJ8J, NV8J, NH1A, NV1A, and TH1A. Mirror glass that separates from the mirror carrier plate may impair the driver’s visibility. Complete detachment may create road debris that could strike another vehicle or pedestrian. These may create a risk of accident or injury.
You may have previously received a notification for your vehicle relating to a similar condition associated with the mirror glass assembly. (Recall No. 19V-564). The scope of the current voluntary safety recall includes those vehicles previously indicated in recall number 19V-564. In the interest of caution, Hino has conservatively determined to recall and notify those previously indicated vehicles from 19V-564 as well as the additional vehicles indicated in the subject recall as part of a uniform and exhaustive remedy. Therefore, Hino requests that your vehicle undergo a second inspection to ensure the quality of your side mirrors.
What will Hino do?
The build date must be confirmed on all suspect truck mirrors, for both driver’s side and passenger side assemblies. For trucks containing mirror assemblies that fall within the suspect build range, those mirror assemblies will be replaced. Please make an appointment with your authorized Hino Dealer to have the remedial work performed. This repair will be performed at NO COST to you.
What should you do?
