| MLIT filing number | 1110430 |
|---|---|
| Type | Statutory Recall (government-mandated recall) |
| Date filed | February 26, 2004 |

Defect
The mounting plates that secure the rear axle to the vehicle body on the oscillating rear axle attachment have insufficient strength. Continued operation on severely uneven road surfaces causes the plates to deform and the mounting bolts to loosen. In the worst case, the mounting bolts can fall out, the anti-withdrawal plates can detach, and the rear axle can separate from the vehicle body, rendering the vehicle inoperable.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the mounting plates and mounting bolts with corrected parts.

状況
揺動機構を持つ後軸取付部において、後軸を車体に固定するための取付用プレートの強度 が不足しているため、凹凸の激しい路面で使用を続けると、当該プレートが変形し、取付 ボルトが緩むことがある。このため、最悪の場合、取付ボルトが脱落し、抜出し防止プレ ートが外れ、後軸が車体から外れて走行不能に至るおそれがある。
改善措置
全車両、取付用プレート及び取付ボルトを対策品に交換する。
