Filing in context
The Parking Brake is the most frequently cited component category in this archive, appearing in 13 of its 4,890 filings. This filing is one of 150 Mitsubishi notifications from 2004 in this archive. For scale, 2,143 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 1 year and 11 months.
Defect
Insufficient clearance between the air pipe connected to the parking brake hand control valve and the bolt securing the radiator support bracket allows the pipe and bolt to contact each other during vehicle operation. Continued use may wear a hole through the pipe, causing an air leak and, in the worst case, unintended parking brake application. (Note: This notification was originally filed February 3, 2004. A correction to the affected vehicle selection was subsequently filed on February 16, 2004.)
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace both air pipes connected to the hand control valve and their mounting brackets with corrected parts.
