What the ministry says is wrong

バン型車両において、扉(後観音扉、後はね上げ扉及び側片開扉)の取付部構造が不適切なため、樹脂製ヒンジが大気のオゾン、紫外線等により劣化し破断すると、扉開放時に扉が外れ落下して、作業者に危害を加えるおそれがある。

What is to be done about it

全車両、扉と扉枠を繋ぐ安全ベルトを上下(後はね上げ式扉においては左右)2箇所に取り付ける。又、当該ヒンジを点検し、亀裂が生じているものは新品に交換する。

The two passages above are quoted in Japanese because that is the language the ministry published them in. This site keeps the wording a register had when it was read, and does not translate a safety notice.
