Overview
| MLIT filing number | 1110040 |
|---|---|
| Type | Statutory Recall (government-mandated recall) |
| Date filed | November 20, 2003 |
| Manufacturer(s) | Mitsubishi |
| Component | Wiper |
| Production period | April 2003 — July 2003 |
| Vehicles affected | 11,277 units |
Defect
The air vent on the wiper motor is incorrectly positioned. When large volumes of water enter the front deck area — such as during factory shower leak tests — the air vent may become submerged, allowing water to enter the motor interior. This causes internal rust and, in the worst case, a continuity fault that renders the wipers inoperable.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the wiper motor assembly with a corrected part.
