Defect
On LPG tanker truck bodies, the mounting brackets for the fire extinguisher box were improperly bent during the manufacturing process. Driving impacts generate high stress at the bent sections, which may cause cracks to develop. Continued use in this condition may result in the fire extinguisher box detaching together with its mounting bracket.
Corrective action
Inspect all affected vehicles and replace any fire extinguisher box mounting bracket found to have been improperly formed with the corrected part.
