Overview
| MLIT filing number | 1133680 |
|---|---|
| Type | Statutory Recall (government-mandated recall) |
| Date filed | June 17, 2014 |
| Manufacturer(s) | UD Trucks |
| Component | Propeller Shaft |
| Production period | March 2010 — June 2011 |
| Vehicles affected | 159 units |
Defect
On heavy-duty trucks, the propeller shaft spline shaft is undersized, resulting in excessive clearance between the spline shaft and its mating flange. This allows abnormally high loads to act on the bolts that secure the flange to the spline shaft. Continued use in this condition may cause the bolts to fracture. In the worst case, the propeller shaft may detach, rendering the vehicle inoperable.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the propeller shaft with a conforming part.

状況
大型トラックのプロペラシャフトにおいて、スプラインシャフトの寸法が小さいため、それと結合するフランジとの間の遊びが大きいものがあり、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、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、当該プロペラシャフトを良品と交換する。
