Hazard

On the opening/closing side covers of the loading device of refuse collection vehicles, the fixing method between the lower cover and upper cover is inadequate. Consequently, the fastening of the lower cover's upper portion may become detached due to wind pressure during driving. If the vehicle continues to operate in this condition, in the worst case the lower cover may be damaged or detach, potentially obstructing other traffic.

塵芥車の積込装置側面の開閉式のサイドカバーにおいて、ロアカバーとアッパカバーの固定方法が不適切なため、走行中の走行風等によりロアカバー上部の固定が外れることがある。そのため、そのままの状態で走行を続けると、最悪の場合、ロアカバーが破損・脱落して、他の交通の妨げになるおそれがある。

Remedy

For all vehicles, add two snap latches to secure the lower cover and upper cover (on both left and right sides). Additionally, inspect the lower cover for cracks or damage; if cracks or damage are found, repair or replace the lower cover.
