Filing in context
The Wiring is the most frequently cited component category in this archive, appearing in 236 of its 4,890 filings. This filing is one of 34 Hino notifications from 2017 in this archive. For scale, 3,479 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 1 year and 6 months.
Defect
On large route buses, the wiring routed inside the driver's side wall panel is improperly routed, allowing it to contact the edges of the side wall panel bracket. Continued operation can damage the wiring insulation and cause a short circuit. In the worst case, the doors may become unable to open or close.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, add protective material to the driver's side wall panel bracket. Inspect the wiring in that area and, if damaged, repair the wiring.
