Hazard
The door opening/closing control program is inappropriate. Additionally, there is manufacturing variation in the sensor that detects the door position just before closing, which is installed to activate the closer mechanism that retracts and locks the door into the vehicle body just before it closes. When the sensor fails to detect this position, the closer does not activate and the door cannot be locked securely. If a passenger blocks the photoelectric sensor installed near the door during vehicle operation, the door may open.

③乗降扉の開閉制御プログラムが不適切なため、また、乗降扉が閉まる直前で扉を車内に引き込みロックする機構（クローザ）を働かせるために備えられた、扉が閉まる直前の位置を検知するセンサーに製造バラツキがあるため、当該センサーによる検知がなされない場合において、クローザが働かず確実に扉をロックできず、走行中に乗客が扉近傍に設置された検知器（光電管）を遮った際に扉が開く。
Remedy
Replace the ECU in all vehicles with a corrective part. Also inspect the closer switch position and adjust as necessary for any units found to be inappropriate.
