|---|---|
| Type | Statutory Recall (government-mandated recall) |
| Date filed | March 5, 2009 |
| Manufacturer(s) | Isuzu |
| Component | Door |
| Production period | August 30, 2005 — February 14, 2009 |

Defect
On large touring buses, the anti-entrapment switch for the swing door has inadequate waterproofing, and the cover shape above the door lock position detection switch is improperly designed. If both switches fail, the door anti-entrapment mechanism may activate unintentionally. In the worst case, the door may open while the vehicle is in motion.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace both switches with waterproof-type switches and add a cover to any switch cover section that lacks one. Because supply of the corrected parts requires additional time, as an interim measure the door anti-entrapment mechanism will be disabled.

状況
大型観光バスのスイング扉挟み込み防止機構用スイッチの防水性が不適切及び扉ロック位置を検出するスイッチ上部のカバー形状が不適切なため、その両スイッチが故障した場合に、扉の挟み込み防止機構が作動する場合がある。そのため、最悪の場合、走行中に扉が開くおそれがある。
改善措置
全車両、スイッチを防水式に交換するとともに、スイッチカバー部にカバーがないものはカバーを追加する。なお、対策品の供給に時間を要することから、暫定措置として扉の挟み込み防止機構を非作動にする。
