Hazard

In combine harvesters, the inadequate design of the DPF muffler high-temperature zone shield cover allows straw to accumulate around the DPF muffler. This can cause the DPF muffler outlet pipe to contact accumulated straw, and during DPF regeneration, the surface temperature of the DPF muffler outlet pipe rises. In worst case scenarios, the straw may ignite, resulting in vehicle fire.

刈取脱穀作業車において、DPFマフラ高温部を遮蔽するカバーの設計が不適切な為、DPFマフラ周辺に麦ワラが堆積することがある。そのためDPFマフラ出口パイプ部と麦ワラが接触し、DPF再生処理中にDPFマフラ出口パイプ部の表面温度が上昇し、最悪の場合、麦ワラが発火することで車両火災に至るおそれがある。

Remedy

Replace the shield cover with the corrective part on all vehicles.
