Defect

The brake air pipe is improperly routed, causing high stress to develop in the pipe when the vehicle experiences severe vibration on rough roads. Continued use allows cracks to form in the pipe, resulting in an air leak. In the worst case, the cracks may propagate and braking force may decrease.

Corrective action

On all vehicles, inspect the air pipe. On any vehicle where the corrected part has not yet been installed, replace the air pipe with a corrected part.

状況

ブレーキ用エアパイプの取り回しが不適切なため、悪路等の走行による大きな振動を受けると、当該パイプに高応力が発生するものがある。そのため、そのままの状態で使用をつづけると、当該パイプに亀裂が発生してエアが漏れ、最悪の場合、亀裂が拡大し、制動力が低下するおそれがある。

改善措置

全車両、当該エアパイプを点検し、対策品が未装着の車両については、エアパイプを対策品と交換する。
