Filing in context

Defect
The check valve selection for the hydraulic circuit of the work equipment on street sweeper vehicles was insufficient, allowing heat from the work engine and related components to raise pressure inside the hydraulic lines. The elevated pressure prevents the work equipment check valve from opening, which means the cleaning equipment (left and right brushes and hood) cannot be retracted after the work equipment is stopped, creating a hazard to other traffic.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the work equipment check valve with a corrected part.

状況
清掃車の作業装置の油圧回路において、チェックバルブの選定が不十分なため、作業用エンジン等からの熱により、配管内の圧力が上昇することがある。そのため、圧力により作業装置のチェックバルブが開かず、作業装置停止後、清掃装置（左右ブラシ及びフード）が格納できないことから、他の交通を妨げるおそれがある。
改善措置
全車両、作業装置のチェックバルブを対策品に交換する。
