Autonomous Trucks
Hino Motors Sales U.S.A. is recalling thousands of trucks because of a fuel tank issue. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, Hino is recalling more than 8,000 model year 2020-24 NE7A, NE7B, NE8A, NH9A, NJ7A, NJ7B, NJ8A, NJ8J, NV7A, NV7B and NV8A trucks equipped with 70- or 90-gallon fuel tanks. The fuel sender float may deform and detach, which can lead to an inaccurate fuel gauge reading. An inaccurate fuel gauge may result in the vehicle unexpectedly running out of fuel and stalling, increasing the risk of a crash. All Hino models equipped with 70- or 90-gallon fuel tanks manufactured between March 10, 2020, and July 28, 2023, are potentially affected by this issue.
