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, 2,291 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 10 years and 10 months.
Defect
On transit bus glide-slide doors, the method used to secure the air cylinder bracket to the rotational shaft that opens and closes the door is improperly designed. As a result, cracks develop in the retaining spring pins. Continued operation causes the spring pins to fracture and, in the worst case, both spring pins fracture simultaneously, allowing the door to open while the vehicle is in motion or preventing the driver from operating the door open/close controls.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the retaining pins with corrected parts.
