Hazard
The crop divider (a device that separates crops during harvesting and threshing operations) on the harvester-thresher has improper manufacturing methods, causing some dimensions to exceed design specifications. When assembled into this machine, the vehicle width may exceed 1,700 mm. Machines exceeding 1,700 mm in width are not equipped with required lighting fixtures (width lights, tail lights, brake lights, backup lights, and rear-view mirrors), creating potential non-compliance with safety standards.

刈取脱穀作業車の分草かん(刈取脱穀作業中に作物をかき分ける装置)において、製造方法が不適切なため一部寸法が設計値を超過し、本機へ組付けた場合に車幅が1,700mmを超えるものがある。当該機は、車幅1,700mmを超える場合に必要な灯火器類(車幅灯・尾灯・制動灯・後退灯・後写鏡)を備えていないことから、保安基準に対して不適合となるおそれがある。
Remedy
Replace all crop dividers with parts featuring improved dimensions.
