Defect

On large touring buses, the manually retractable left-side mirror stay was improperly assembled, resulting in insufficient clamping force on the mirror-side stay mounting bolts. Driving vibration causes cracks to develop at the mirror-side stay attachment point of the manual retraction unit. Continued use allows the cracks to propagate and, in the worst case, the left-side mirror may detach.

Corrective action

On all vehicles, replace the manual retraction unit and mirror-side stay with corrected parts.

状況

大型観光バスの手動格納式左側ミラーステーにおいて、組立方法が不適切なため、ミラー側ステーの取付ボルトの軸力が弱いものがある。そのため、走行時の振動等により手動格納ユニットのミラー側ステー取付部に亀裂が生じ、そのままの状態で使用を続けると、亀裂が進展して、最悪の場合、左側ミラーが脱落するおそれがある。

改善措置

全車両、手動格納ユニットとミラー側ステーを対策品に交換する。
