A recall notice has been issued by Hino for 9,168 units of their 500 Series FC2A, FD2A and FE2A truck, in the year range 2018-2024.
Due to variations in wiring harness routing in the affected models, there is a possibility that the wiring harness insulation may wear due to contact with the engine and chassis.
In the worst-case scenario, safety hazards may include the wiring to short circuit, resulting in electrical damage and a potential fire.
