Overview
| MLIT filing number | 1112490 |
|---|---|
| Type | Statutory Recall (government-mandated recall) |
| Date filed | September 28, 2004 |
| Manufacturer(s) | Mitsubishi |
| Component | Wiring |
| Production period | December 16, 1994 — January 1995 |
| Vehicles affected | 2,354 units |
Defect
The interior electrical wiring is improperly routed and secured, and assembly variation has left insufficient clearance between the wiring and the hood lock release handle bracket on some vehicles. The bracket's mounting screw has abraded the wire insulation on affected units. Vibration during driving causes the wiring to contact the screw and, in the worst case, the resulting short circuit blows the fuse, causing turn signal failure, speedometer malfunction, and related electrical faults.
Corrective action
Inspect the affected wiring on all vehicles. Where clearance is insufficient, reroute the wiring to establish adequate clearance. Where the wiring is damaged, repair it if possible; replace it with a new harness if repair is not possible.
