Defect

On small low-floor buses, the contact structure of the passenger-entrapment detection switch is improperly designed. When switch actuation frequency is low, a silicone film forms on the contacts, causing poor conductivity. As a result, the switch may fail to function, and in the worst case, a passenger may become trapped in the door.

Corrective action

On all vehicles, the switch is replaced with a corrected part. On units not equipped with a relay in the switch circuit, a relay is added.
