Affected vehicles

小松メック Komatsu WA350-3 1997

Hazard

Some units have insufficient clearance between the front-wheel brake piping of the braking system and the hydraulic piping of the steering system. Continued operation in this state may cause interference due to vehicle vibration during operation, potentially resulting in damage to the brake piping, brake oil leakage, and reduced braking force.

制動装置の前輪用ブレーキ配管とかじ取り装置の油圧配管の隙間が少ないものがあり、そ のままの状態で使用を続けると、作業時等の車体の振動で干渉し、最悪の場合、当該ブレ ーキ配管が損傷してブレーキオイルが漏れ、制動力が低下するおそれがある。

Remedy

Inspect all vehicles and replace damaged front-wheel brake piping with serviceable parts. Replace the steering system hydraulic piping and rear-wheel brake piping on all vehicles with corrective parts, and modify the routing to ensure adequate clearance.
