Filing in context

This filing is one of 35 UD Trucks notifications from 2018 in this archive.

Defect
On heavy-duty trucks and tractors, the bolts and nuts securing the spare tire carrier to the body are improperly torqued, resulting in insufficient clamping force. Continued operation allows driving vibration to progressively loosen the fasteners. In the worst case, the bolts and nuts may separate completely, causing the carrier and spare tire to fall from the vehicle and create a hazard to other traffic.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, inspect the carrier mounting bolts and nuts and tighten them to the specified torque.

状況
大型トラック及びトラクタにおいて、スペアタイヤキャリアを車体に固定するボルト／ ナットの締付けが不適切なため、締付けトルクが不足し、軸力が低下していることがある。そのため、そのままの状態で使用を続けると、走行時の振動等によりボルト／ナットが緩み、最悪の場合、ボルト／ナットが外れ、当該キャリアとともにスペアタイヤが脱落し、他の交通の妨げとなるおそれがある。
改善措置
全車両、当該キャリアの固定ボルト／ナットを点検し、規定トルクで締付ける。
