Filing in context
The Other (Body/Frame) is the most frequently cited component category in this archive, appearing in 28 of its 4,890 filings. This filing is one of 40 Hino notifications from 2021 in this archive. For scale, 4,147 of the 4,890 filings in this archive report a larger number of affected vehicles; the vehicles involved here were manufactured over a span of about 2 years and 8 months.
Defect
On refrigerated/freezer trucks, the mounting bracket for the air suspension remote control BOX was not welded in the position specified on the engineering drawings. This may cause a crack to develop in the bracket. Continued operation allows the crack to propagate. In the worst case, the air suspension remote control BOX may detach from the vehicle and become a hazard to other traffic.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the air suspension remote control BOX mounting bracket with a corrected part. (Due to the urgency of this remedy, verification of its effectiveness is not yet complete. Once verification is finished, a further notification will be filed if necessary and the bracket will be replaced with a permanent corrected part.)
