Defect
On large tractor coupling devices, the lock guard 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, resulting in a false-coupled condition. At the same time, the coupler lock indicator lamp inside the vehicle's meter cluster may illuminate, indicating a completed coupling. If the operator continues use without visually confirming the coupling state, the tractor and trailer may separate while driving.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the lock guard with the corrected part.

状況
大型トラクタ用連結装置において、誤連結を防止する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となるとともに、車両のメータ内に連結完了を示すカプラロックのランプが点灯することがある。そのため、目視による連結状態の確認をしないまま使用を続けると走行中にトラクタとトレーラが分離するおそれがある。
改善措置
全数、ロックガードを対策品に交換する。
