Two numbers, one recall
Every safety recall carries two identifiers. AA9Q0 is the number Hino assigned in its own system: it is what appears on the owner letter, on the dealer’s service screen and on the repair order. 18V178000 is the number NHTSA filed the same recall under when the manufacturer reported it, and it is the one every federal record, this site included, is keyed on.
The repair is free by federal law for vehicles up to fifteen years old. Whether one particular vehicle is included is settled by its VIN against the manufacturer’s build list, not by its model year.
Check one specific vehicle
Both lookups check a VIN against the manufacturer’s own list and say whether the repair is still outstanding on that vehicle.
Common questions
Source: NHTSA, 49 CFR Part 573Is AA9Q0 the same recall as 18V178000?

Which vehicles does AA9Q0 cover?
2018–2019 Hino NE8J and 2 other Hino models, 45 vehicles by the manufacturer’s count. A recall covers a build range, so the VIN decides whether one particular vehicle is in it.
Does the AA9Q0 repair cost anything?
No. The manufacturer must remedy a safety defect at no charge for vehicles up to 15 years old from first sale.
