Filing in context
The Door is the most frequently cited component category in this archive, appearing in 103 of its 4,890 filings. This filing is one of 31 Hino notifications from 2016 in this archive. For scale, 2,628 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 7 years and 11 months.
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.
