Defect

The shim inserted between the front axle and the right-side leaf spring to adjust cab height is of incorrect thickness, causing some vehicles to have the center pin not fully seated in the front axle. Continued use allows large road-surface inputs to shift the front axle, changing the tire angle. In the worst case, driving stability is compromised.

Corrective action

On all vehicles, inspect the right-side leaf spring shim thickness. Where the thickness exceeds the specified value, replace the center pin and shim with corrected parts.

状況

キャブ高さを調整するためにフロントアクスルと右側リーフスプリングの間に挿入するシムの厚さが不適切なため、センターピンがフロントアクスルに確実に嵌合されていないものがある。そのため、そのまま使用を続けると、路面からの大きな入力等によって、フロントアクスルがずれてタイヤの角度が変化し、最悪の場合、走行安定性が損なわれるおそれがある。

改善措置

全車両、右側リーフスプリングのシム厚さを点検し、規定の厚さ以上のものは、センターピン及びシムを対策品に交換する。
