Defect
On agricultural tractors, the coolant drain hose on the cooling system is improperly assembled, resulting in insufficient clamping force. Continued use in this condition may cause the coolant drain hose to pull free from the pin, allowing coolant to leak. In the worst case, the engine may stall.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, remove the joint, hose, and drain cap attached to the engine cylinder block and replace them with a plug. Update the coolant replacement instructions in the owner's manual accordingly.

状況
農耕トラクタの冷却装置において、冷却水ドレンホースの組付けが不適切なため、締結力が不足しているものがある。そのため、その状態で使用を続けると、冷却水ドレンホースがピンから抜け出し、冷却水が漏れて、最悪の場合、エンジンが停止するおそれがある。
改善措置
全車両、エンジンのシリンダブロックに取り付けられているジョイントとホース及びドレンキャップを外し、プラグに交換する。取扱説明書に記載している、冷却水の交換についての内容を変更する。
