Overview
| MLIT filing number | 1123950 |
|---|---|
| Type | Statutory Recall (government-mandated recall) |
| Date filed | October 15, 2009 |
| Manufacturer(s) | Isuzu |
| Component | Shock absorber |
| Production period | July 26, 1997 — August 26, 2003 |
| Vehicles affected | 2,011 units |
Defect
On large tractors equipped with air spring suspension, the owner's manual provides insufficient instructions for height adjustment when disconnecting a trailer, and the shock absorber stopper design is inadequate. If a trailer is disconnected without properly adjusting the coupler height, the shock absorber may extend to its full stroke. This causes the piston retaining nut inside the shock absorber to loosen. If the vehicle continues to be operated in this condition, the shock absorber rod may pull out and, in the worst case, contact the tire and result in a vehicle fire.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, affix a sticker to the owner's manual detailing precautions for trailer disconnection, and replace the shock absorbers with corrected parts.

状況
空気ばね緩衝装置付大型トラクタにおいて、トレーラ切り離し時の高さ調整についての取扱説明書の説明が不十分で、且つショックアブソーバのストッパ構造が不適切なため、カプラ高さ調整不十分な状態でトレーラをトラクタから切り離すと、ショックアブソーバが伸びきってしまうことがある。そのため、ショックアブソーバ内部のピストン取付けナット部が緩み、そのままの状態で使用を続けると、当該ショックアブソーバのロッドが抜け出し、最悪の場合、タイヤと干渉して、車両火災に至るおそれがある。
改善措置
全車両、トレーラ切り離し時の注意事項を示したステッカを取扱説明書に貼付するとともに、ショックアブソーバを対策品に交換する。
