Overview
| MLIT filing number | 1110000 |
|---|---|
| Type | Statutory Recall (government-mandated recall) |
| Date filed | November 12, 2003 |
| Manufacturer(s) | Mitsubishi |
| Component | Accelerator |
| Production period | October 2002 — February 25, 2003 |
| Vehicles affected | 23 units |
Defect
The combination of the drum-type throttle connection structure and the accelerator cable is incompatible, leaving the cable with insufficient durability against repeated bending stress. Repeated throttle open-and-close operation will cause the accelerator cable to fracture. As a result, pressing the accelerator pedal may no longer raise engine speed.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the cable connection component with a corrected part and simultaneously replace the cable with a new one.
