Defect
On large tractors in which the fuel tank has been relocated to behind the cab, the mounting bracket securing the fuel tank has insufficient strength, allowing cracks to develop in the bracket. Continued operation allows those cracks to propagate and, in the worst case, the fuel tank may detach from the vehicle.
Corrective action
Replace the mounting bracket and base material with corrected parts on all vehicles. Also replace the fuel tank and mounting band with new parts.

状況
大型トラクタの燃料タンクをキャブ後方に移設した車両において、燃料タンクを固定するブラケットの強度が不足しているため、当該ブラケットに亀裂が入ることがある。そのため、そのまま使用を続けると亀裂が進行し、最悪の場合、燃料タンクが脱落するおそれがある。
改善措置
全車両、固定ブラケットとベース材を対策品に交換する。また、燃料タンクと固定バンドも新品に交換する。
