Defect
On four-axle container-dedicated vehicles, the fenders on the third and fourth axles have insufficient strength. Vibration during operation causes cracks to develop at the top panel mounting points. Continued use allows the top panel to detach and fall onto the road, creating a hazard for other traffic.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, perform the following on the third and fourth axle fenders: (1) replace the top panel with the corrected part; (2) add reinforcement to the top panel; (3) add anti-vibration rubber at the top panel fixing bolt locations and replace the flat washers with the corrected parts.
