Overview
| MLIT filing number | 1109050 |
|---|---|
| Type | Statutory Recall (government-mandated recall) |
| Date filed | January 9, 2003 |
| Manufacturer(s) | Mitsubishi |
| Component | Engine |
| Production period | June 18, 1997 — February 2001 |
| Vehicles affected | 17,644 units |
Defect
In the engine, the adhesive securing the vibration-damping rubber of the crankshaft pulley that drives the accessory belt has insufficient heat resistance. At elevated temperatures during high-speed driving, the adhesive bond weakens, causing the pulley to separate from the vibration-damping rubber. This damages the adjacent crank angle sensor or sensing blade, leading to improper engine control. In the worst case, the engine may stall and be unable to restart, or engine speed may increase unintentionally.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the crankshaft pulley with a corrected part that uses an improved heat-resistant adhesive.

状況
原動機において、補機ベルトを駆動するクランクシャフトプーリの防振用ゴムを固定す る接着剤の耐熱性が不十分なため、高速走行等での高温時、接着力が低下することにより 、プーリと防振用ゴムが剥離し、近接するクランク角センサーまたはセンシングブレード が損傷することによりエンジン制御が不適切となり、最悪の場合、エンストし再始動がで きなくなる。またはエンジン回転が上昇するおそれがある。
改善措置
全車両、クランクシャフトプーリを、耐熱性向上接着剤を使用した対策品に交換する。
