For large size trucks with manual transmission, the flywheel, which transfers the power of the engine to the torque converter, may crack around the base section, because its improper shape causes localized stress at high engine revolutions. If this problem is left unattended, the crack may grow, and at worst, the flywheel could break, in which case it would become impossible to restart the engine or the vehicle would stall.

For the gear shift unit (GSU) for the transmission, the section (connector body) where the air inlet connector is attached does not have sufficient strength. If the screw part of the connector is repeatedly put under vibration such as gear grinding noise at the time of gear change, it may be damaged and could allow air to leak. If such air leak occurs, malfunction may occur during gear shift or clutch throw-out, and in the worst case, the vehicle could stall.

The bolts that secure the transmission onto the engine may loosen from repeated sudden starts because the instructions for tightening them are inadequate, and this may cause some gap between the engine and the transmission. If this problem is left unattended, abnormal noise may occur, or the shift lever may be displaced, and in the worst case clutch operation could become difficult and eventually the vehicle could stall.

For the front brake chambers of the vehicles with full air brake system, the seal guides that hold down the airtight seals do not have sufficient strength, and they may break from vibration at braking. If a broken piece is caught at the air valve and the vehicle continues to be driven with it, in the worst case, air may leak from the air valve at braking, which could cause the stopping distance to be longer than a driver anticipates.

The speed limiter control program of the engine control unit has a glitch, and this will allow a driver to deactivate the speed limiter, if the driver does an illegitimate modification or certain operations to the accelerator pedal switch, which is to limit the speed.

On certain vehicles, the needle bearings in the universal joints for the propeller shaft may not hold grease due to improper shape of the bearing edges. If the vehicle continues to be driven with insufficient grease in the bearings, the bearings may burn out, damaging the joints, and in the worst case, the propeller shaft could fall off, which would cause the vehicle to stall.

The way the transmission lever is attached to the transmission is structurally improper, and therefore, the attachment part of the lever may loosen from repeated gear changes. If this problem is left unattended, it may become difficult to shift the gear, and in the worst case, the lever could come off, making gear changes impossible.

On certain heavy-duty trucks, the brake pipe at the side of the flywheel is deformed from the time of installation, and it may interfere with the transmission control rod. If this problem is left unattended, the brake pipe may be damaged, and in the worst case, it could allow brake fluid to leak, which would reduce braking efficiency.

The electrical wiring within the meter cluster is not properly routed, and it may interfere with the tachograph bracket and be damaged, when the steering wheel is at the upfront position. If this problem is left unattended, it may cause a short circuit or cut the wiring, in which case the headlights could fail to illuminate or the engine would fail to start.

For heavy-duty trucks, the resin pads near the frames, which are installed so that a hand is placed when a person is descending from the vehicle, do not have sufficient strength. Therefore, they may crack and eventually break if they are repeatedly stepped on while a person is moving backward or doing some work, and in the worst case, a person could fall due to unsteady footing caused by the broken pad.
