KJ-0332-0

For the balancers installed on the flip-up back door, there may be a residue of cleaning fluid left inside the damper cases, due to an inappropriate manufacturing process, and this may cause the O-rings to swell. If this occurs, the back door may open faster than the designated speed and hit a person, or it may bounce up and down as a result of hard opening and damage the balancer securing parts. If, in the worst case, either of the balancer securing parts breaks, the back door may fall and hit a person.
