Defect

On large wing-body trucks, insufficient design consideration was given to the installation position of the mount brackets that connect the chassis frame to the cargo bed. As a result, on some vehicles the holes drilled for mount bracket installation overlap with pre-existing holes, and bolts and nuts were installed in this overlapping condition. This prevents the mount brackets from maintaining adequate clamping force to the chassis frame, causing the nuts to loosen during service. In the worst case, the bolts and nuts may fall from the vehicle while driving, creating a hazard to following vehicles.

Corrective action

On all vehicles, inspect the drilled hole condition at the affected area. If overlapping holes are found, add a seating plate to the inside of the chassis frame and retorque the fasteners to the specified value.

状況

大型ウイングボデー車において、シャシフレームと荷台を連結するマウントブラケットの取付位置の設計検討が不十分だったため、一部マウントブラケット取付けのためにあけた穴と既存穴が重複した状態でボルト・ナットを取り付けたものがある。そのため、マウントブラケットのシャシフレームへの締結力が維持されず、使用過程でナットが緩み、最悪の場合、走行中にボルト・ナットが落下し後続車等に危険を及ぼすおそれがある。

改善措置

全車両、当該部の穴あけ状況を点検し、穴が重複している場合にはシャシフレーム内側に座面プレートを追加し、適切なトルクで締め付ける。
