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