Affected vehicles

Hino Profia 2012–2020 Mitsubishi Super Great 2012–2020

Hazard

Stainless steel hinges installed on the upper rear posts of large dump trucks have inadequate welding range in the hinge components, resulting in insufficient strength of the attachment. Continued use may cause cracks to develop in the weld due to vibration and stress during opening and closing operations. In the worst case, weld fracture could occur, causing the hinge component and upper frame component to detach, creating a risk of injury.
