Overview
| MLIT filing number | 1109330 |
|---|---|
| Type | Statutory Recall (government-mandated recall) |
| Date filed | April 2, 2003 |
| Manufacturer(s) | Mitsubishi |
| Component | Pressure Control/Transmission Component |
| Production period | October 1997 — February 24, 2003 |
| Vehicles affected | 223,702 units |
Defect
The front brake hose mounting position is incorrect, causing the hose to be twisted. Steering inputs generate excessive stress at the hose end fittings. Continued use may cause the brake hose to crack and leak brake fluid, reducing braking force. In the worst case, braking performance may be significantly degraded.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the brake hose and intermediate mounting bracket with corrected parts. (Because supply of corrected parts requires additional time, as an interim measure all owners will be notified of the defect, and the brake hose and intermediate mounting bracket will be replaced with corrected parts at a later date.)

状況
制動装置において、前輪用ブレーキホースの固定位置が不適切なため、ブレーキホース が捻れており、操舵によりブレーキホース端末に過大な応力が発生し、そのままの状態で 使用を続けると、最悪の場合、ブレーキホースに亀裂が発生し、ブレーキ液が漏れ制動力 が低下するおそれがある。
改善措置
全車両、ブレーキホースおよび中間固定用ブラケットを対策品と交換する。 （対策品の供給に時間を要することから、当面の暫定処置として、全ての所有者に不具合 内容を通知し、後日ブレーキホースおよび中間固定用ブラケットを対策品と交換する。）
