Affected vehicles
シンメイワ 3-Ton Container 1998–2017
シンメイワ 4-7 Ton Container 1998–2017
Hazard
In refuse collection containers for detachable container-equipped vehicles, welding between the rear member and rear cover is inadequate. Vibration during operation may cause cracks to develop at the welded joint. Continued use in this condition allows cracks to propagate, potentially resulting in rear cover detachment, which could obstruct other traffic.

脱着装置付コンテナ専用車の塵芥収集用コンテナにおいて、後端メンバとリヤカバーの溶接が不適切なため、走行時の振動等により、当該溶接部に亀裂が生じることがある。そのため、そのままの状態で使用を続けると、亀裂が進行し、最悪の場合、リヤカバーが脱落し、他の交通の妨げになるおそれがある。
Remedy
All units shall be inspected for welding condition. Units with welding defects shall receive supplementary welding. Additionally, bracket material shall be added between the rear member and rear cover, and bolted connections shall be installed.
