Filing in context
The Spring / Air Suspension is the most frequently cited component category in this archive, appearing in 27 of its 4,890 filings. This filing is one of 150 Mitsubishi notifications from 2004 in this archive. For scale, 1,414 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 6 years and 6 months.
Defect
On rear two-axle trucks, the rear trailing axle (non-drive axle) spring anti-displacement retainer is improperly shaped. If a sharp turn is made while the vehicle is loaded with a high center of gravity, the rear spring may disengage from the retainer, causing the vehicle to lean. In the worst case, driving stability may be compromised.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, add an extension plate to the upper retaining tab of the trailing axle anti-displacement retainer.
