Filing in context

For scale, 4,312 of the 4,890 filings in this archive report a larger number of affected vehicles; the vehicles involved here were manufactured over a span of about 1 year and 7 months.
Defect
The battery wiring routed inside the right side frame is improperly arranged. Driving vibration causes the wiring to contact the clips securing the nylon tubing used in the brake control system. Continued operation damages and short circuits the wiring insulation, burning the wiring and the nylon tubing. In the worst case, air may leak from the nylon tubing, triggering the air leak warning and causing loss of braking, while the spring brake safety system activates and renders the vehicle inoperable. (Note: This notification adds newly identified subject vehicles to the recall filed on January 24, 2003, as Notification No. 913.)
Corrective action
On all vehicles, secure the battery wiring and adjacent chassis wiring individually with clips to maintain adequate clearance from the clips securing the nylon tubing.

状況
電気装置において、右サイドフレーム内のバッテリー配線の取り回しが不適切なため、 走行時の振動により当該配線がブレーキ制御用ナイロンチューブを固定しているクリップ と干渉することがあり、そのままの状態で使用を続けると、当該配線の被覆が損傷・短絡 して当該配線及びナイロンチューブが焼損し、最悪の場合、ナイロンチューブからエアー が漏れ、エアー漏れ警報が作動して制動不能となるとともにスプリングブレーキ安全装置 が作動して走行不能となるおそれがある。 （備考）本届出は、平成１５年１月２４日「届出９１３」のリコール届出にあらたに対象 車を追加するものである。
改善措置
全車両、バッテリー配線と隣接するシャシー配線をそれぞれクリップで固定し、ナイロン チューブ固定用のクリップとの隙間を確保する。
