Defect
On battery-powered forklifts, the battery plug terminals were crimped using an improper method, increasing contact resistance at the crimped connection and raising heat generation under high-load conditions. Continued operation under these conditions — particularly during repeated heavy-load material handling — may cause the plastic housing of the battery plug to thermally deform. This deformation separates the electrical contacts between the battery and vehicle sides, cutting power and stopping the vehicle or preventing restart.
Corrective action
Replace the battery plug on all vehicles with the corrected part.

状況
バッテリ式フォークリフトのバッテリプラグにおいて、バッテリプラグ端子の圧着方法が不適切なため、当該圧着部分の接触抵抗が増加し、高負荷時の発熱量が増加する場合がある。そのため、そのままの状態で使用を続けると、負荷の大きい荷役作業を連続して行った場合に、バッテリプラグの樹脂部が熱変形し、バッテリ側と車両側の電気接点が離れることで、電源が切れて車両が停止し、又は再起動できなくなるおそれがある。
改善措置
全車両、バッテリプラグを対策品と交換する。
