Issue
The mounting structure of the top-hinged rear door is improperly designed, causing the plastic hinges along the upper door edge to degrade and fracture due to atmospheric ozone, ultraviolet radiation, and similar environmental factors. When a hinge breaks, the door may detach and fall while open, posing a risk of injury to workers.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, safety straps are installed on both the left and right sides of the top-hinged rear door. The hinges are also inspected, and any hinge showing visible cracking is replaced with a new part.
