Affected vehicles

Komatsu HV6000-1 2001–2002

Hazard

In rear dual-axle drive chemical fire trucks, the axle stopper shape on the vehicle frame is inadequate. When the axle contacts the stopper during suspension compression, cracks may develop in the vehicle frame. Continued operation allows crack propagation, potentially compromising frame structural integrity in severe cases.
