Hazard
On the rear tandem axle (non-drive axle) of rear two-axle trucks, the shape of the rear spring retainer is inadequate. Under high center-of-gravity load conditions during sharp turns, the rear spring may disengage from the retainer, causing vehicle tilt and potentially compromising running stability.

後２軸トラックの後々軸（非駆動軸）においてリヤばねズレ止めの形状が不適切なため、高重心積載状態で急旋回を行った場合、リヤばねが当該ズレ止めから外れ、車両が傾き、最悪の場合、走行安定性が損なわれるおそれがある。
Remedy
All vehicles will be inspected at the relevant component. If defective parts are found installed, an extension plate will be added to the lug on the upper part of the tandem axle retainer.
