Published May 25, 2026

Recall 17V201 covers 1,815 2013-2017 Hino Xfc vehicles for clutch drum spline wear causing loss of propulsion. Repair is free at franchised Hino dealers.

Hino is recalling 1,815 2013-2017 Xfc vehicles because the clutch drum spline in the hybrid motor front module can wear out. If that happens, the vehicle will lose the ability to move under its own power, increasing crash risk; the Hino dealer repair will be free once available.

What's wrong?

The clutch drum spline in the front module of the Hino hybrid motor is a set of interlocking teeth that transfers turning force through the hybrid propulsion system. It connects the motor's output to the clutch assembly so the truck can pull away and keep moving when power is applied.

On affected 2013-2017 Hino Xfc vehicles, the spline does not have enough wear resistance. Torque variation during driving, including vibration through the driveline, or PTO operation can wear the teeth down. Once the teeth deteriorate, the front module can no longer pass motor torque through the clutch drum, so the powertrain loses its ability to move the vehicle under its own power.

Hino's filing identifies the warning as that loss of movement. There is not a separate earlier warning sign in the provided recall description; if the clutch drum spline wears out, the vehicle will not move under its own power.

Who's affected?

The listed vehicles span five model years and two component areas: the hybrid propulsion system and clutch assembly.

Field incidentsNHTSA has logged no field incidents to date.

The year and model narrow the list, but the VIN decides. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific truck is included.

What's the safety risk?

A worn clutch drum spline can leave the vehicle unable to move under its own power, increasing the risk of a crash if it happens in traffic. If the vehicle loses drive power, move out of traffic if you can, stop, and call the dealer for guidance. Repair will be free at any franchised Hino dealer once available.

What should I do?

  1. Check your VIN to confirm your 2013-2017 Hino Xfc is included in this recall.
  2. Contact a franchised Hino dealer with recall number 17V201 and ask whether the free repair is ready for your VIN.
  3. Ask about the clutch drum spline replacement that fixes wear in the hybrid motor front module and helps prevent loss of propulsion.
  4. Bring the Hino owner notice if you have it, or give the dealer recall number 17V201 when you call.
  5. Stop driving if the truck loses propulsion or will not move under its own power, and ask the dealer about towing.

What happens at the repair

Hino has identified the dealer repair: a Hino technician replaces the clutch drum spline in the front module of the hybrid motor with a part built for increased wear resistance. Because this campaign is listed as under development, treat the final dealer repair as free once available. Hino has a general reimbursement plan on file for owners who already paid for the same repair. Keep repair orders and payment records, and contact Hino customer service or the dealer service desk about submitting documentation.

Frequently asked questions

What is recall 17V201?

Recall 17V201 covers 1,815 2013-2017 Hino Xfc vehicles with a clutch drum spline in the hybrid motor front module that can wear out. If it wears out, the vehicle can lose the ability to move under its own power, increasing crash risk.

What should I do if my 2013-2017 Hino Xfc is on this recall?

Check your VIN to confirm your specific vehicle is included in recall 17V201. If it is, contact a franchised Hino dealer to schedule the clutch drum spline replacement. Reference recall number 17V201 when you call. Hino customer service is also listed at 1-248-699-9390.

Is the recall repair free?

Yes. Federal recall law requires the manufacturer to repair the defect at no cost, and Hino's remedy says dealers will replace the clutch drum spline with one that has increased wear resistance free of charge.

What is the safety risk?

The safety risk is loss of propulsion. If the clutch drum spline wears out, the Hino Xfc can lose the ability to move under its own power, which increases crash risk, especially in traffic. The dealer repair replaces the worn-prone spline.

What if I bought my Hino Xfc used?

The free recall repair still applies. Recall coverage follows the vehicle, not the first owner. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific Hino Xfc is included, then contact a franchised Hino dealer and reference recall 17V201.
