The hazard
Issue: On certain trucks, the tailpipe for the exhaust may have been positioned incorrectly during shipping. As a result, the heat from the exhaust could cause the rear wiring harness to melt. If this happens, the brake lights could fail. This problem could also cause the taillights, air suspension, ABS, and air brake control circuits to fail. Safety Risk: Brake lights that don't work could cause others not to recognize when the vehicle is braking, and increase the risk of a crash. Wiring that melts could also create the risk of a fire. Brake and air suspension systems that fail could increase the risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: Hino will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your truck to a dealership to inspect the rear wiring harness for heat damage, and reposition the tailpipe as necessary.
