Overview
| MLIT filing number | 1145230 |
|---|---|
| Type | Statutory Recall (government-mandated recall) |
| Date filed | June 26, 2019 |

| Vehicles affected | 562 units |
Defect
On engine-powered forklifts, the fuel tank and hydraulic oil tank, which are structural components of the frame, are improperly welded due to inadequate welding procedures, resulting in insufficient weld penetration on some units. Repeated operations that place high loads on these areas cause cracks to develop at the affected weld points. In the worst case, fuel and hydraulic oil may leak.
Corrective action
Inspect the affected weld points on all vehicles and re-weld them to the correct specification.
