PT Kereta Commum Indonesia (KCI) has conducted a recall of seven KRL\niE305\/CLI-225 trainsets produced by PT Industri Kereta Api (INKA). The\nmove follows the discovery of a problem with a specific component\nrelated to train safety.<\/p>\n
KAI President Director Bobby Rasyidin explained that the problematic\ncomponent is located in the train\u2019s underframe. Inspections revealed the\npresence of fractures in the component.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe issue identified recently falls under the \u2018no-go item\u2019 category.\nThese are components in the underframe where fractures were found,\u201d\nBobby stated during a hearing with Commission VI of the Indonesian House\nof Representatives (DPR RI) on Wednesday (23\/09\/26).<\/p>\n
In classifying train components, KAI categorises items into three\ngroups: \u2018no-go items\u2019 related to safety, \u2018major items\u2019 that can disrupt\noperations, and \u2018minor items\u2019 related to passenger comfort.<\/p>\n
As the issue was classified as a \u2018no-go item\u2019, KAI traced the source\nof the component\u2019s production. Inspections showed that the components\nwere produced domestically and originated from the same production\nbatch.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is a local, domestic production. At the time, the focus was\nlikely on TKDN (Domestic Component Level), or local content.\nConsequently, we investigated where else this component was produced\nwithin the same batch, and it was found in seven trainset units,\u201d said\nBobby.<\/p>\n
KAI subsequently decided to recall all seven trainsets containing\ncomponents from that batch. Inspections are being carried out to ensure\nno remaining safety issues exist before the trains return to service.\nDuring this process, KAI is conducting 100% Non-Destructive Testing\n(NDT). The inspection is performed after the coating on the components\nis removed.<\/p>\n
The components are then subjected to maximum load testing to ensure\nthere is no potential for material fatigue that could compromise safety\nor operations. Once the inspection is complete, components are repaired\nor replaced as necessary, followed by re-coating before being\nreinstalled.<\/p>\n
Of the seven recalled trainsets, two have been declared free of\n\u2018no-go\u2019 category issues and have resumed operations. The remaining five\ntrainsets will be processed gradually until 9 October 2026.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/7-inka-cli-225-commuter-trains-recalled-as-kai-discovers-issues-in-underframe-1790160832", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
