Hazard

In the rear axle tube of low-floor, dual rear-axle heavy-duty trucks, improper die management during forging resulted in some vehicles being assembled with damaged tube components. Consequently, repeated input loads from road surfaces and similar stresses may cause cracks to develop in the tube, and in the worst case, tube fracture may occur, resulting in loss of vehicle mobility.
