What happened

Hino Motors Sales U.S.A., Inc. is recalling certain 2021 NJ8A low-profile heavy trucks equipped with full air brake systems. The Anti-Lock Braking System control unit may contain incorrect software programming that causes the anti-lock braking system to malfunction by mistakenly detecting a difference between front and rear wheel rotation speeds. This malfunction deactivates the anti-lock braking function, which can increase the risk of a crash and causes the vehicles to fail to comply with federal safety standards.

Hino will notify owners, and dealers will reprogram the ABS control unit with corrected software. The recall began on August 25, 2020. Owners may contact Hino customer service at 1-248-699-9390 for more information, and can reference recall number AAJS0.
