Defect
On large tractors, the coupler lock guard — the component designed to prevent false coupling — has an incorrect shape. When a coupling operation is performed with the tractor and trailer at mismatched heights, the lock guard fails to function correctly. Despite the false-coupled condition, the multi-display monitor may show the coupler lock indicator in green, indicating a normal coupling state. As a result, the trailer may separate from the tractor while driving.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the lock guard with the corrected part and adjust the lock guard position. Until the replacement is completed, notify operators to match the tractor and trailer heights before coupling and to visually confirm the coupling state after the operation.

状況
大型トラクタの連結装置において、誤連結防止部品（ロックガード）の形状が不適切なため、トラクタとトレーラの高さがあっていない状態で連結操作をおこなうと、ロックガードが正しく作動せず誤連結状態であっても多重表示モニターに正常連結状態を示すカプラ―ロックインジケーター（緑色）が表示されるものがある。そのため、走行中にトレーラが分離するおそれがある。
改善措置
全車両、ロックガードを対策品に交換すると共に、ロックガードの位置を調整する。なお、対策品に交換するまでの間、使用者へ連結操作時にトラクタとトレーラの高さを合わせること 及び完了後に連結状態を目視確認することを周知する。
