Filing in context
This is the only filing in the archive that cites the Brake Pressure Control and Transmission as the affected component. This filing is one of 36 Mitsubishi notifications from 2003 in this archive. For scale, 3,719 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 2 years and 6 months.
Defect
The brake hose routing at the rear axle is improper, causing the hose to contact the underbody rocker sill as the rear suspension moves through its travel. Continued operation in this condition wears and damages the hose. This may result in brake fluid leaking and a reduction in braking force.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the brake hose with a corrected part incorporating a revised routing path.
