Hazard

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