Affected vehicles

Hazard

On van-bodied vehicles, improper instructions for chassis fastening positions during cargo body installation resulted in some units being fastened at positions differing from design intent. Continued operation causes excessive input from cargo body oscillation to front suspension anchor bolts during driving. This can lead to bolt fracture, resulting in vehicle attitude change and potential fuel tank damage from broken bolt fragments, creating a risk of fuel leakage.

バン架装車において、荷室架装時の車台側締結位置の指示が不適切なため、荷室前側の車台締結を設計意図と異なる位置で締結したものがある。そのため、走行中の荷室揺動による前輪サスペンションのアンカーボルトへの入力が大きく、そのまま使用を続けると、当該ボルトが折損して車両姿勢が変化し、また、折損したボルトが燃料タンクを損傷させ、最悪の場合、燃料が漏れるおそれがある。

Remedy

Replace anchor bolts with upgraded parts on all vehicles and install fuel tank protective covers.
