Hazard

In the peripheral fastening sections (16 locations total) of the upper and lower covers of an aftermarket warning light mounted on the vehicle, stress concentration occurs at the embedded nut portion of the lower cover. When external factors such as vibration from driving and solar heat are applied, cracks may develop. If operation continues in this condition, the fastening sections may be damaged, and in the worst case, the upper cover may separate.
