Overview
| MLIT filing number | 1113810 |
|---|---|
| Type | Statutory Recall (government-mandated recall) |
| Date filed | February 28, 2005 |
| Manufacturer(s) | Mitsubishi |
| Component | Accelerator |
| Production period | July 28, 1995 — March 1996 |
| Vehicles affected | 232 units |
Defect
The connector fitting on the engine idle-up cable was manufactured with an incorrect shape. When the accelerator pedal is fully depressed, the fitting may catch on the return spring hook. This prevents the accelerator control lever from returning to its rest position, causing engine speed to remain elevated and not decrease.
Corrective action
Replace the subject connector fitting with a corrected part on all vehicles.
