Filing in context
The Main Brake (General) is the most frequently cited component category in this archive, appearing in 4 of its 4,890 filings. This filing is one of 30 Mitsubishi notifications from 2000 in this archive. For scale, 3,649 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 6 months.
Defect
On vehicles equipped with ABS (Anti-Lock Brake System) and the hill-start assist system (EZGO: Easy Go), the machining of the internal hydraulic control unit is improper. Continued operation causes the brake pedal to travel deeper during braking after an ABS activation event. In the worst case, rear wheel braking becomes ineffective and braking force decreases.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the affected hydraulic control unit with the corrected part.
