Filing in context
The Other (Body / Frame) is the most frequently cited component category in this archive, appearing in 11 of its 4,890 filings. This filing is one of 34 Hino notifications from 2005 in this archive. For scale, 3,946 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 2 years and 1 month.
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.
