Overview
| MLIT filing number | 1113931 |
|---|---|
| Type | Statutory Recall (government-mandated recall) |
| Date filed | March 23, 2005 |
| Manufacturer(s) | Mitsubishi |
| Component | Other (fuel system) |
| Production period | August 28, 1996 — April 15, 2002 |
| Vehicles affected | 1,662 units |
Defect
① The geometry of the high-pressure fuel pipe in the fuel injection system and the design of the pipe's retaining clamp are incorrect. Engine vibration causes the clamp bolt to fracture or loosen, allowing the clamp to fall off. Continued use causes a crack to form in the high-pressure fuel pipe, resulting in a fuel leak and, in the worst case, engine stall and inability to restart.
Corrective action
① On all vehicles, replace the high-pressure fuel pipe and clamp with corrected parts.

状況
①燃料噴射装置の高圧燃料パイプの形状及び当該燃料パイプの締付クランプの構造が不適切なため、エンジン振動によりクランプボルトが折損又は緩み、当該クランプが脱落することがある。そのため、そのままの状態で使用を続けると、高圧燃料パイプに亀裂が生じ、燃料が漏れ、最悪の場合、エンジン停止、再始動不能に至るおそれがある。
改善措置
①全車両、高圧燃料パイプ、クランプを対策品と交換する。
