What are the defects?
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?
The crack in the fuel filter element may spread if the vehicle continues to be used. This can cause the element to break, resulting in fuel leakage.
What should consumers do?
Owners will be contacted by direct mail. Owners should return their vehicle to an authorised Hino dealer for inspection and repair.
