Overview
| MLIT filing number | 1109630 |
|---|---|
| Type | Statutory Recall (government-mandated recall) |
| Date filed | July 14, 2003 |
| Manufacturer(s) | Mitsubishi |
| Component | Propeller Shaft |
| Production period | November 18, 1994 — March 28, 2003 |
| Vehicles affected | 14,913 units |
Filing in context
The Propeller Shaft is the most frequently cited component category in this archive, appearing in 52 of its 4,890 filings. This filing is one of 36 Mitsubishi notifications from 2003 in this archive. For scale, 1,393 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 8 years and 4 months.
Defect
On rear dual-axle drive vehicles, the thread strength at the coupling mount of the front drive-side input shaft (inter-differential case outer) that connects the propeller shaft is insufficient. The threaded section may fracture, allowing the propeller shaft to disengage from the drive axle and rendering the vehicle inoperable. Note: Applies to final reduction ratio 3.818 and below — FS/FV GVW 25 t, FS/FY GVW 21 t and above.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the inter-differential case outer with the corrected part.
