Overview
| MLIT filing number | 1111520 |
|---|---|
| Type | Statutory Recall (government-mandated recall) |
| Date filed | July 7, 2004 |
| Manufacturer(s) | Mitsubishi |
| Component | Exhaust pipe |
| Production period | March 31, 1994 — July 31, 1995 |
| Vehicles affected | 2,216 units |
Defect
The exhaust pipe forward of the main muffler has insufficient wall thickness, and the bracket supporting the pipe is welded in an incorrect position. Together, these conditions leave the pipe with insufficient strength to withstand vibration during driving, allowing cracks to form. Continued operation can cause the pipe to fracture, resulting in increased exhaust noise.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the main muffler assembly with a corrected part. (Because supply of the corrected part requires time, all owners will be notified of the defect; repair work will be performed at a later date.)

状況
メインマフラー前側の排気管の肉厚が薄いため、また当該排気管を支持する金具の溶接 位置が不適切なため、走行中の振動に対する排気管の強度が不足しており、亀裂が入るこ とがある。そのため、そのままの状態で使用を続けると、排気管が折損し、騒音が増大す るおそれがある。
改善措置
全車両、メインマフラー一式を対策品と交換する。 （対策品の供給に時間を要することから、全使用者に不具合内容の周知を行い、後日、改 善作業を実施する）
