Defect
On large touring buses equipped with swing doors, the bracket fastening structure used to attach the swing arm to the door is improperly designed. As a result, the nut securing the swing arm to the bracket loosens and the bolt fractures, preventing the door from closing securely. In the worst case, the door may detach from the vehicle.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the bracket and nut with corrected parts and replace the bolt with a new one. On certain vehicles, an additional washer will also be installed.
