Hazard

The mounting plate securing the rear axle to the vehicle body in the oscillating-type rear axle mounting assembly lacks sufficient strength. Continued use on severely uneven road surfaces can cause the plate to deform and mounting bolts to loosen. In the worst case, mounting bolts may come off, the anti-detachment plate may separate, and the rear axle may detach from the vehicle body, resulting in loss of driving capability.
