Defect
On rear two-axle drive trucks, the backlash between the spline section of the front flange on the forward rear-axle final drive and the spline shaft was set incorrectly, causing excessive force to act on the flange-to-spline shaft fastening bolts. The bolts cannot withstand the torque loads during vehicle launch and sustain damage. Continued use may cause the bolts to fracture, allowing the propeller shaft connected to the flange to detach and rendering the vehicle inoperable.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the flange with a corrected part and replace the fastening bolts, washers, and spacers with new parts.

状況
後輪２軸駆動のトラックの動力伝達装置において、後前軸側終減速機の前側フランジのスプライン部とスプラインシャフトのバックラッシュの設定が不適切なため、当該フランジとスプラインシャフトの締結用ボルトに過大な力がかかることがある。そのため、発進時のトルクにボルトが耐えきれず損傷し、そのまま使用を続けると、最悪の場合、ボルトが折損しフランジに接続しているプロペラシャフトが脱落して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。
