Hazard

Due to improper manufacturing of the front glass on shovel loaders, some units have fine cracks at the edges. Additionally, some front glass panels are installed on the vehicle body in a deflected state. As a result, cracks may propagate due to temperature changes in the glass and vibrations during operation, causing the glass to break and potentially obstructing the driver's field of vision.
