Hino 300 Series product safety recall


Monday, 26 October, 2015

The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) has issued a product safety notice on the Hino 300 Series vehicles.

In some 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.

If continued to be used, the crack may propagate, causing the element to break, ultimately resulting in fuel leakage.

The vehicles were sold nationally at authorised Hino dealerships.

Consumers should return the vehicle to an authorised Hino dealer for repairs. The ACCC website has a full list of vehicle indentification numbers here.
