Filing in context
The Other (Body Structure) is the most frequently cited component category in this archive, appearing in 6 of its 4,890 filings. This filing is one of 140 Mitsubishi notifications from 2005 in this archive. For scale, 4,170 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 10 years.
Issue
On van-type vehicles, the mounting structure for the rear upper swing-up door is improperly designed. The plastic hinges along the upper door edge can degrade and fracture due to exposure to atmospheric ozone, ultraviolet radiation, and similar environmental factors. If a hinge breaks while the door is open, the door may detach and fall, posing an injury hazard to workers.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, safety belts are installed on both the left and right sides of the swing-up door. The hinges are also inspected, and any hinge showing visible cracking is replaced with a new part.
