Hazard

On vehicles equipped for concrete mixer truck use, the power distribution unit (transfer case) mounting bracket has insufficient strength. Under loads during concrete placement operations, cracks may develop in the mounting bracket. Continued operation may cause crack propagation, and in the worst case, the mounting bracket could fracture during driving, causing the transfer case to separate and resulting in loss of vehicle mobility.

コンクリート作業車に架装した車両において、動力分配装置(トランスファ)取付金具の強度が不足しているため、コンクリート打設作業時の負荷により当該取付金具に亀裂が発生する場合がある。そのため、そのまま使用を続けると、亀裂が進展し、最悪の場合、走行中に取付金具が破損してトランスファが脱落し、走行不能となるおそれがある。

Remedy

Replace the transfer case mounting bracket with an improved part on all vehicles, and also replace the cushioning rubber with new units.
