Hazard
The material of the rear axle shaft in large trucks with rear-axle drive is inappropriate, resulting in insufficient strength near the flange root against excessive input during start-up. Therefore, the shaft may fracture due to severe operation such as hard acceleration, potentially rendering the vehicle unable to run.
