Hazard

In welfare vehicles equipped with a caregiver-use rotating seat on the front passenger side, the manufacturing process of the rotating seat mounting device is improper, resulting in insufficient weld strength in the rotary bearing section connecting the mounting device to the vehicle body base. Consequently, continued use may cause the rotating seat to detach from the bearing section.

Remedy

Inspect the weld condition of the rotary bearing section on all vehicles. If welding defects are found, replace the entire rotating seat mounting device assembly with a good unit.
