Defect
The door latch on the passenger entry/exit door was improperly manufactured, causing certain components to fall outside dimensional tolerances. As temperatures rise, the locking mechanism may become sluggish. As a result, the door may not lock securely, and in the worst case, the door may open while the vehicle is in service.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, the door latch is replaced with a conforming part at locations determined by production period. (Sliding door latches are excluded.) Because replacement parts require time to prepare, owners are notified of the defect and advised to exercise caution until parts become available, at which time the replacement will be performed.

状況
乗降扉のドアラッチにおいて、構成部品の製造が不適切なため、部品の精度が規格を外れているものがあり、気温が高くなるとロック機構の動きが悪くなることがある。そのため、乗降扉が確実にロックされず、最悪の場合、運行中に乗降扉が開くおそれがある。
改善措置
全車両、製作期間に応じて必要な箇所のドアラッチを良品と交換する。（除くスライドドアラッチ） なお、交換用部品の準備に時間を要するため、使用者に不具合内容を通知し注意喚起のうえ、部品準備でき次第交換する。
