Defect
On large trucks, inadequate dimensional control of the battery box mounting bracket during the manufacturing process results in the fastening bolts not being properly torqued. Continued operation in this condition allows the fastening bolts to loosen and, in the worst case, the battery box may detach from the vehicle.

Replace the battery box mounting bracket with a conforming replacement part. Replace all bolts and nuts securing the bracket to the frame with new parts.
