Hazard
The mounting structure of the upper flip-up door attached to the vehicle's rear is inadequate. The plastic hinges at the door's upper edge degrade due to atmospheric ozone, ultraviolet radiation, and other factors, and may fracture. When the door opens, it can detach and fall, potentially injuring workers.

Remedy
Install safety belts on both the left and right sides of the flip-up door on all vehicles. Additionally, inspect the hinges in question and replace any hinges showing visible cracks with new parts.
