What are the defects?
In the subject vehicles, the fuel filter element installed on the engine may crack if the engine is started and stopped frequently as durability of the fuel filter element is not enough to endure changes in the fuel pressure.
What are the hazards?
If continued to be used, the crack may propagate, causing the element to break, ultimately resulting in fuel leakage.
What should consumers do?
Return their vehicle to an authorised Hino Dealer for repair.
