The identified problems, root causes, and corrective actions are described below:<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>I. Problem Description<\/h3>\n<p><span lang=\"en-US\">During machine operation, fracture occurs at the connection between the slewing bearing mounting base and the lower frame.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>II.<span lang=\"en-US\"> Grunnleggende \u00e5rsaker<\/span><span lang=\"en-US\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span lang=\"en-US\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span lang=\"en-US\">The test analysis reveals the following root causes:<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span lang=\"en-US\">During excavation operations, extreme vertical tensile forces and lateral shear forces are generated between the slewing bearing mounting base and the lower frame. The base plate thickness of 10 mm presents a risk of fatigue fracture over prolonged use.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>III. Corrective Actions<\/h3>\n<p><span lang=\"en-US\">To address the above issues, our company will implement the following corrective measures:<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"artifact-docx-preview-num-0-0\"><span lang=\"en-US\">The base plate at the connection between the lower frame and the slewing bearing mounting base shall be thickened to 16 mm, and the bulldozer blade ear plates shall be connected to the slewing bearing mounting base to reinforce the strength of the slewing bearing mounting assembly.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"artifact-docx-preview-num-0-0\"><span lang=\"en-US\">In response to the above countermeasures, we conducted sampling tests on 10 units of this model in our plant, and all test results met the applicable testing standards.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"artifact-docx-preview-num-0-0\"><span lang=\"en-US\">For the above problem resolution plan, our company will initiate a recall process for affected units, providing free replacement parts, repair work instructions, repair videos, and other services for all involved product vehicles.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span lang=\"en-US\">Affected Vehicle Models\uff1a<\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"artifact-docx-preview-num-0-0\"><span lang=\"en-US\">LP02011003U05<\/span><span lang=\"en-US\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span lang=\"null\">LP02011003U05<\/span><span lang=\"en-US\">&#8211;<\/span><span lang=\"null\">Self-propelled<\/span><span lang=\"null\">Gravemaskin<\/span><span lang=\"null\">R18-5 Pro-XD-JBT(D902)-ZS-SS-CB-N-DP-0-X-CY<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"en-US\">Replacement Parts List (Per Unit)\uff1a<\/span><\/p>\n<table class=\"artifact-docx-preview_6\">\n<colgroup>\n<col \/>\n<col \/>\n<col \/>\n<col \/><\/colgroup>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"en-US\">Artikkelnummer.<\/span><\/td>\n<td>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"en-US\">Delnavn<\/span><\/td>\n<td>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"en-US\">U<\/span><span lang=\"en-US\">nit<\/span><\/td>\n<td>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"en-US\">Antall<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span lang=\"en-US\">LP<\/span><span lang=\"en-US\">0109013047<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span lang=\"en-US\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span lang=\"en-US\">R18 Lower Frame Travel Bracket Reinforcement Plate<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span lang=\"en-US\">Vare<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span lang=\"en-US\">4<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h2><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-15158\" src=\"https:\/\/static.rippa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/8.17.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"491\" srcset=\"https:\/\/static.rippa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/8.17.webp 1880w, https:\/\/static.rippa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/8.17-768x377.webp 768w, https:\/\/static.rippa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/8.17-1536x754.webp 1536w, https:\/\/static.rippa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/8.17-18x9.webp 18w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/h2>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">Visit the machine recall service website.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><span lang=\"en-US\">Recall Process<\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"artifact-docx-preview-num-3-0\"><a href=\"https:\/\/recall.rippa.com\/submit\">https:\/\/recall.rippa.com\/submit<\/a><span lang=\"en-US\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span lang=\"en-US\">1.
