Filing in context
This is the only filing in the archive that cites the Brake pressure control/transmission as the affected component. This filing is one of 4 Mitsubishi notifications from 1996 in this archive. For scale, 166 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 3 years and 10 months.
Defect
The front brake hose segment running from the lower coil spring bracket to the body-side bracket — or, on double-wishbone suspension vehicles, from the front brake caliper to the upper arm bracket — has insufficient durability. Continued use may cause the hose to crack. In the worst case, brake fluid may leak and braking force may be reduced.
Corrective action
Replace the affected brake hose on all vehicles with the corrected part.
