Filing in context
This notification is a joint filing by 3 manufacturers: Nissan, Nissan Diesel & UD Trucks.
The Differential is the most frequently cited component category in this archive, appearing in 33 of its 4,890 filings. This filing is one of 40 Nissan notifications from 2011 in this archive. For scale, 1,420 of the 4,890 filings in this archive report a larger number of affected vehicles; the vehicles involved here were manufactured over a span of about 10 years and 7 months.
Defect
On low-floor, rear-tandem-axle heavy-duty trucks, excessive play in the spline of the front flange on the forward rear-axle final drive unit causes abnormally high loads on the bolts that secure the flange to the spline shaft. Continued operation in this condition may cause those bolts to fracture. In the worst case, the propeller shaft connected to the flange can detach, rendering the vehicle inoperable.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, the flange is replaced with a corrected part, and the fastening bolts, washers, and spacers are replaced with new parts.

状況
低床式後２軸駆動の大型トラックの後前軸側終減速機において、前側フランジのスプライン部の遊びが大きいため、当該フランジとスプラインシャフトを固定する締結用ボルトに過大な入力が生じることがある。そのため、そのままの状態で使用を続けると、当該ボルトが折損し、最悪の場合、当該フランジと接続されているプロペラシャフトが脱落し、走行不能となるおそれがある。
改善措置
全車両、フランジを対策品と交換するとともに、締結用ボルト、ワッシャ及びスペーサを新品と交換する。
