Overview
| MLIT filing number | 1111980 |
|---|---|
| Type | Statutory Recall (government-mandated recall) |
| Date filed | August 4, 2004 |
| Manufacturer(s) | Mitsubishi |
| Component | Wiring |
| Production period | March 14, 1995 — December 25, 1996 |
| Vehicles affected | 36,787 units |
Defect
The routing of the electrical wiring inside the instrument panel is inadequate, causing the wiper linkage to contact and interfere with the wiring during wiper operation. Continued use in this condition damages the wiring. In the worst case, warning lamps may illuminate falsely, or the starter may malfunction and burn out, preventing the engine from starting.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, install additional band clips to secure adequate clearance between the wiring and wiper linkage. If the harness is already damaged, perform the necessary repair.
