Filing in context
This filing is one of 19 Daihatsu notifications from 2010 in this archive. For scale, 1,704 of the 4,890 filings in this archive report a larger number of affected vehicles; the vehicles involved here were manufactured over a span of about 11 years and 3 months.
Defect
The mounting bolts for the back door stay were insufficiently torqued during assembly on some vehicles. Repeated door opening and closing may cause these bolts to loosen. Continued use in this condition may allow the stay mounting to detach, leaving the back door unable to be held in the open position.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the back door stay mounting bolts with adhesive-type bolts and tighten them to the specified torque. If the nuts at the stay mounting point have come loose, replace the nuts as well.
