丰田 electric forklift controller has insufficient design review for high-load operations

Country	Japan
Category	Automotive
Published	2025-07-15
Manufacturer	Toyota Industries Corporation
Models affected	Toyota Forklift
Units affected	1255
Defect	Due to insufficient design review of the controller installed in electric forklifts, if high-load operations are repeatedly performed for a long period, the metal terminal block of the controller may become hot and cause a creep phenomenon. Consequently, the tightening force of the nuts securing the terminals decreases, increasing contact resistance at the terminal part and generating heat. If use is continued in this state, the controller may burn out, rendering the vehicle unable to drive.
Component	Power unit (Drive motor control controller)
Remedy	For all vehicles, the controller will be replaced with an improved part. However, as preparation of the improved part will take time, as a provisional measure, the nuts at the controller terminal part will be re-tightened to the specified torque.
