Filing in context
The Automatic transmission is the most frequently cited component category in this archive, appearing in 6 of its 4,890 filings. This filing is one of 150 Mitsubishi notifications from 2004 in this archive. For scale, 2,477 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 10 years and 3 months.
Defect
The oil hose in the automatic transmission fluid cooling circuit has insufficient heat resistance. When transmission fluid temperature rises excessively during uphill driving or similar conditions, the hose deteriorates and becomes damaged, causing an oil leak that may result in a vehicle fire in the worst case.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the oil hose with the corrected part. Because full supply of corrected parts will require time, as an interim measure inspect the oil hose and replace it with a new part if any abnormality is found.
