Defect	Regarding the coupling device of large tractors, due to an improper shape of the lock guard designed to prevent incorrect coupling, if coupling operations are performed when the tractor and trailer heights are not aligned, the lock guard may not operate correctly, leading to an incorrect coupling state, and the coupler lock lamp, indicating coupling completion, may illuminate on the meter. Therefore, if use continues without visually confirming the coupling status, there is a risk of the trailer separating during driving.
