Thank you for sending this Tech Notice. Looks like what I am looking for. If you have one in English, that would be appreciated but I can probably OCR this and then have it translated. I really appreciate the time you have taken to reply.

I used Google to translate it. Here you go.

I have had this a few times.

Technical Bulletin No.: RD0CA023

The PP band (which connects the hook and right cover knob) is stretched by the hook when the cover’s unlock knob is turned. When the knob is turned and the cover is opened at the same time, a force acting to open the cover is applied before the hook is completely unlocked. As a result, the cover cannot be opened easily. The hook then breaks if the user forces the cover open in this condition.

New PP band as well as broken hook.

hope this helps
