Filing in context
The Starting System is the most frequently cited component category in this archive, appearing in 35 of its 4,890 filings. This filing is one of 30 Mitsubishi notifications from 2000 in this archive. For scale, 1,629 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 1 year and 4 months.
Defect
The wiring terminal on the starter magnetic switch has insufficient strength. Continued use allows vibration during driving to apply excessive stress to the terminal, causing it to fracture. As a result, the engine may become unable to start.
Corrective action
As an interim measure while corrected parts are sourced, inspect the wiring terminal of the magnetic switch on all vehicles and replace any unit showing a crack, fracture, or other abnormality with a conforming part. Subsequently, replace the magnetic switch on all vehicles with a corrected part.

状況
原動機のスタータ（始動機）の電流開閉器において、配線の端子部の強度が不足している ため、そのままの状態で使用を続けると、走行中の振動により当該端子部に過大な力が加 わり、折損し、原動機が始動できなくなるおそれがある。
改善措置
対策品の供給に時間を要するため、当面の暫定措置として、全車両、電流開閉器の配線端 子部を点検し、亀裂・折損等異常があるものについては良品と交換する。また、後日全車 両、当該開閉器を対策品と交換する。
