Hazard

The plastic hinge at the door's upper edge degrades and fractures due to atmospheric ozone, ultraviolet radiation, and similar factors. When the door opens, it may detach and fall, potentially injuring workers.

車両後部に取付けられた上部はね上げドアの取付部構造が不適切なため、ドア上縁の樹脂製ヒンジが大気のオゾン、紫外線等により劣化し破断すると、ドア開放時にドアが外れ落下して、作業者に危害を加えるおそれがある。
Remedy
Install safety belts on both sides of the flip-up door on all vehicles. Inspect the hinge and replace any hinge showing visible cracks with a new unit.
