Hino 300 Series (2023–2025)
What the hazard is
If the spare tyre and carrier bracket detaches from the vehicle whilst driving, it could increase the risk of an accident causing injury or death to other road users and bystanders.
What to do
Hino will contact affected owners in writing requesting they make an appointment with their nearest authorised Hino dealer to inspect the spare tyre carrier bracket and connection bolts, and replace free of charge if required.
Defect
Due to a manufacturing defect, the spare tyre carrier connection bolts may not have been fastened with sufficient torque and could become loose. As a result, the spare tyre and carrier bracket could detach from the vehicle whilst driving.
