Defect

On tractors equipped with a diesel particulate device (DPD), the heat shield is improperly shaped. During DPD regeneration, strong wind striking the right rear of the vehicle deflects exhaust gas onto the relay box, and the heat from the exhaust gas can melt and damage the relay box. If the vehicle continues to be operated in this condition, rainwater and other moisture can enter the damaged relay box, causing corrosion of the electrical components inside and resulting in poor electrical continuity. In the worst case, the engine may stall or lights and other lamps may fail to illuminate.

Corrective action

On all vehicles, replace the heat shield with a corrected part. On vehicles where the relay box shows damage, replace it with a new unit.

状況

粒子状物質除去装置(DPD)を装着したトラクタにおいて、遮熱板の形状が不適切なため、DPD再生中に車両右後方から強風を受けると排気ガスがリレーボックスにかかり、排気ガスの熱でリレーボックスが溶損することがある。そのため、そのままの状態で使用を続けると、リレーボックス内に雨水等が入り、当該ボックス内の電気部品が腐食して通電不良を起こし、最悪の場合、エンジンが停止したり、灯火器等が不灯に至るおそれがある。

改善措置

全車両、遮熱板を対策品に交換する。また、リレーボックスに損傷が見られるものは新品に交換する。
