Hazard
On the under-mirror used for vehicle loading operations in car transporters, the mirror bracket shape is inadequate, which can cause cracks to develop in the welded section due to vibration during operation. Continued use in this condition can lead to crack progression, and in the worst case, the mirror may detach while the vehicle is in motion, potentially obstructing other traffic.
