What's wrong?
The replacement air brake hose assembly on the 2021 Hino NJ8A is part of the air brake supply system. It carries compressed air through a flexible hose and metal end fittings so the brake system can send pressure where it is needed. The end fittings also carry identification marks that show who made the assembly and connect the part to the brake hose standard.
In campaign 22V021, the issue is the marking on the replacement hose assembly, not a reported crack or air leak. A supplier change led to end fittings that lacked the required manufacturer designation. Hino found that the hose assembly met the other brake hose requirements, but the missing designation means the service part does not match the federal brake hose labeling rule.
There is no warning sign before failure. An owner would not feel this marking problem in the brake pedal or see it from the cab.
