Defect
On large rear-dump vehicles with wear-resistant steel bed specifications, inadequate design and quality evaluation caused cracks to develop in the cargo deck panel at the fender stay area (defect location 1) and the mud flap stay area (defect location 2). Additionally, incorrect drawing instructions for the cargo deck panel at the cross member mounting caused cracks at the rear of the installed cargo deck panel (defect location 3). Continued use allows these cracks to propagate under driving vibration. In the worst case, the fender and mud flap may detach and create a road hazard.
Corrective action
Defect location 1 (all vehicles): Replace the fender stay with a corrected part, change the welding method, and repair any cracks in the cargo deck panel. Defect location 2 (some vehicles): Replace the mud flap stay with a corrected part, change the welding method, and repair any cracks in the cargo deck panel. Defect location 3 (some vehicles): Remove the non-conforming weld and repair any cracks in the cargo deck panel.

状況
大型リヤダンプ耐摩耗鋼板仕様において、設計並びに品質評価が不適切なため、フェンダステー部（不具合箇所（１））、泥除けステー部（不具合箇所（２））の荷台デッキパネルに亀裂が生じるものがある。また、荷台デッキパネルのクロスメンバ部への図面指示が不適切なため、取付した荷台デッキパネル後部（不具合箇所（３））に亀裂が生じるものがある。そのため、そのまま使用を続けると走行振動により亀裂が進行し、最悪の場合、フェンダ及び泥除けが脱落して交通の安全を妨げるおそれがある。
改善措置
不具合箇所（１）：フェンダステーを対策品に交換し溶接方法を変更すると共に荷台デッキパネルに亀裂があるものは補修を行う。（全車両） 不具合箇所（２）：泥除けステーを対策品に交換し溶接方法を変更すると共に荷台デッキパネルに亀裂があるものは補修を行う。（一部の車両） 不具合箇所（３）：不適切な溶接を取り除き、荷台デッキパネルに亀裂があるものは補修を行う。（一部の車両）
