Defect
The mounting bracket that supports the coolant water pipe of the hydraulic auxiliary brake unit fitted to the transmission has insufficient strength, causing the bracket to crack and fracture under driving vibration. Continued use allows the hose connecting the coolant water pipe to detach, resulting in a large coolant loss. In the worst case, engine seizure occurs and the vehicle becomes inoperable.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, inspect the mounting bracket. Where a bracket with insufficient strength is installed, replace it with a corrected part.

状況
変速機に装着されている流体式補助ブレーキ装置の冷却用水管を支持する取付け金具の強度が不足しているため、走行時の振動により当該金具が亀裂、折損するものがある。そのため、そのままの状態で使用を続けると、冷却用水管をつなぐホースが外れて、エンジン冷却水が大量に流出し、エンジンの焼付きにより走行不能となるおそれがある。
改善措置
全車両、取付け金具を確認し、強度が不足している金具が装着されているものは、対策品と交換する。
