Issue
An improper manufacturing process for the balancer fitted to the flip-up back door allows residual cleaning fluid to remain inside the damper case. This fluid causes the O-ring to swell, reducing damping force and increasing the back door's opening speed, which may result in the door striking a person. Additionally, the rapid opening may cause the back door to oscillate up and down. In the worst case, continued use under these conditions can cause the balancer mounting point to break, allowing the back door to drop and strike a person.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, the back door balancer is replaced with a corrected part. The back door is also inspected; any door found to have a crack is replaced with a new unit.

状況
跳ね上げ式バックドアに取り付けられているバランサの製造工程が不適切なため、当該バランサのダンパケース内に残留した洗浄液により、Ｏリングが膨潤して減衰力が低下し、バックドアの開放速度が速くなるものがあり身体の一部に当たるおそれがある。又は、速く開いた反動でバックドアが上下に揺動し、そのまま使用を続けると、最悪の場合、バランサ取り付け部が破損してバックドアが降下し身体の一部に当たるおそれがある。
改善措置
全車両、バックドアバランサを対策品と交換するとともに、バックドアを点検し、亀裂のあるものはバックドアを新品と交換する。
