Defect
On large tour buses, the routing of the lower swing door harness is incorrect. During door opening and closing, the harness contacts surrounding components and undergoes excessive bending. Continued use can cause wiring within the harness to break, leading to malfunctions in electrical components including the pilot lamp, side turn lamp, and door glass heater. In the worst case, abnormal odor and smoke may occur.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the wiring from the door actuator to the door entrance of the lower swing door harness with new wiring, and add plastic band clamps to secure the routing. On vehicles where the service box lower cover is made of resin, replace the lower cover bracket with the corrected part.

状況
大型観光バスにおいて、スイングドア下側ハーネスの配策が不適切なため、ドア開閉時に当該ハーネスが周辺部品と干渉して過度の屈曲が生じる場合がある。そのため、そのままの状態で使用を続けると、当該ハーネス内の配線が断線して電装品（パイロットランプ、サイドターンランプ、ドアガラス熱線ヒータ）が作動不良となり、最悪の場合、異臭・発煙が生じるおそれがある。
改善措置
全車両、スイングドア下側ハーネスのドアエンジンからドア入口までの配線を新品に交換すると共に樹脂製バンドによる固定を追加する。 また、サービスボックスのロアカバーが樹脂製の車両は、ロアカバーブラケットを対策品に交換する。
