The problem
On certain trucks, due to insufficient bracket stiffness and over-tightening of the clip, the fuel pipe between the supply pump and the common rail may crack.
The risk
The engine warning light will alert the driver of the problem. If the warning light is ignored by the driver, this could ultimately cause a fire and the engine to stall.
The fix
Dealers will inspect the bracket and the clip and replace the necessary parts free of charge. The recall began on may 1, 2008. Owners may contact hino at 248-648-6430.
