Overview
| MLIT filing number | 1111950 |
|---|---|
| Type | Statutory Recall (government-mandated recall) |
| Date filed | August 4, 2004 |
| Manufacturer(s) | Mitsubishi |
| Component | Other (Fuel System) |
| Production period | September 2001 — February 17, 2004 |
| Vehicles affected | 1,124 units |
Defect
On compressed natural gas vehicles, the valve seat dimensions and O-ring hardness inside the high-pressure regulator of the fuel pressure-reducing device are inadequate. This causes the O-ring to deform or sustain damage. As a result, fuel gas flows into the low-pressure regulator at high pressure and may leak to the outside through the safety valve.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the high-pressure regulator with the corrected part.

状況
圧縮天然ガス車の燃料減圧装置（レギュレータ）において、高圧側減圧器内部のバルブシー ト部の寸法およびオーリングの硬度が不適切なため、当該オーリングが変形又は破損する ことがある。そのため、燃料ガスが高圧のまま低圧側減圧器に流出し、安全弁から外部に 漏れるおそれがある。
改善措置
全車両、高圧側減圧器を対策品に交換する。
