Defect

On large trucks, the battery hold-down plate is improperly shaped, causing the power cable to contact the plate's edge when attached to the battery terminal. Continued operation in this condition wears through the cable insulation, resulting in a short circuit. In the worst case, the engine may stall during driving and fail to restart.

Corrective action

On all vehicles, install protective material on the edge of the battery hold-down plate. Additionally, inspect the power cable; if damage is found, apply protective material or replace the cable with a new part.

状況

大型トラックにおいて、 ①バッテリー固定プレートの形状が不適切なため、バッテリー端子に電源ケーブルを取り付けた際、電源ケーブルが固定プレートの端部と干渉するものがある。そのため、そのままの状態で使用を続けると、電源ケーブルの被覆が損傷して短絡し、最悪の場合、走行中にエンジンが停止し、再始動できなくなるおそれがある。

改善措置

①全車両、バッテリー固定用プレートの端部に保護材を取付ける。併せて、電源ケーブルを点検し、損傷がある場合は保護材の取付けまたは新品に交換する。
