The short version

HINO MOTORS SALES U.S.A., INC. reported a problem with the engine and engine cooling. Here is what owners need to know.

WHAT

THE DRIVE COUPLER BOLTS MAY NOT HAVE BEEN PROPERLY TIGHTENED AT THE FACTORY DUE TO THE INCORRECT TOOL POSSIBLY BEING USED DURING THE MANUFACTURING PROCESS.

WHY IT MATTERS

IF THE DRIVE COUPLER BOLTS WERE TO LOOSEN IT COULD CAUSE A VIBRATION IN THE DRIVELINE. IF THIS VIBRATION WERE IGNORED, THE DRIVE COUPLER BOLTS COULD SHEAR AND THE COUPLING BETWEEN THE ENGINE AND TORQUE CONVERTER WOULD NOT TRANSMIT POWER.

WHAT TO DO
