Filing in context
The Other (chassis/body) is the most frequently cited component category in this archive, appearing in 2 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 and frozen transport vehicles, the mounting bracket for the air suspension remote control box was not welded in the position specified by the engineering drawing. This causes cracks to develop in the bracket. Continued use allows the cracks to propagate and, in the worst case, the air suspension remote control box may detach and fall from the vehicle, creating a hazard for other traffic.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, the air suspension remote control box mounting bracket is replaced with a corrected part. (This remedy is identical to that of Notification No. 4985. Vehicles on which the remedy has already been completed do not require a second replacement.)
