The short version

Hino Motors Sales U.S.A., Inc. reported a problem with the service brakes, hydraulic. Here is what owners need to know.

WHAT

The brake warning lamp that is supposed to illuminate in the event of a loss of brake fluid pressure or that there is low brake fluid may not operate correctly due to a software programming issue. Thus, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards No.

WHY IT MATTERS

If the warning lamp does not illuminate in the event of low pressure or low brake fluid volume, the driver will not be warned of the potential for a reduction or loss of braking capability, increasing the risk of a crash.

WHAT TO DO

Hino Motors will notify owners, and dealers will reprogram the ABS ECU, free of charge.
