Filing in context

The Equipment / Other is the most frequently cited component category in this archive, appearing in 3 of its 4,890 filings. This filing is one of 24 Toyota notifications from 2016 in this archive. For scale, 4,083 of the 4,890 filings in this archive report a larger number of affected vehicles; the vehicles involved here were manufactured over a span of about 1 year and 3 months.

Issue

On the cargo handling device of these forklifts, the mounting bracket for the tilt cylinder—which tilts the outer mast forward and rearward—has insufficient strength. Repeated cargo handling operations cause the bracket to fracture due to vibration during travel. If both brackets fracture, the cargo handling device may tip forward.

Corrective action

On all vehicles, replace the outer mast with a corrected/revised part.
