AFFECTED MODELS:

Parking Brake Lever Wear
01/26/2015
RCB-002-15
A9970
2007- 2010MY NE8J Conventional Hino Trucks Equipped with Hydraulic Brakes.

NOTE: Refer to the appropriate Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) list to determine vehicle eligibility.
CONDITION:
If the parking brake is not released in accordance with the instructions in the Driver’s/Owner’s Manual (such
as releasing the parking brake lever only by pushing the lever release button, without holding the lever with
the hand, until it is completely released), the tension of the brake cable could be released quickly, causing an
increase in the friction between the long hole in the slide area and the cable joining pin. In addition, improper
adjustment of the parking brake cable that is stretched due to repeated operation of the parking brake could
increase the contact force between the cable joining pin and the long hole in the slide area of the parking
brake lever during the operation of the parking brake. If the parking brake continues to be operated in such a
condition, the long hole in the slide area of the parking brake lever becomes worn and the long hole diameter
becomes enlarged.
If that condition occurs, the washer fixed to the cable joining pin can become stuck in the worn and enlarged
long hole when the parking brake lever is pulled. This situation may prevent the parking brake lever being
pulled to its full stroke, leading to the application of insufficient brake force. In the worst case situation,
vibration can cause the washer which is stuck in the worn and enlarged long hole to come off, releasing the
parking brake lever and resulting in the vehicle moving.

SUBJECT VEHICLES:
2007 through 2010 MY NE8J Conventional Hino Trucks equipped with hydraulic brakes. These vehicles were
assembled at the Williamstown West Virginia, U.S.A. assembly plant.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN:
- Read and understand all instructions and procedures before you begin the work.
- Read and follow all WARNINGS and NOTICES set forth in this publication. These alerts help to avoid damage
to components, serious personal injury, or both.
- Park the vehicle on a level and solid surface and apply the parking brake.
- Confirm the starter switch is in the off (LOCK) position, and the key is removed.
- Wear safety glasses to prevent eye injuries.
- Place wheel chocks in front of and behind all wheels.
