|---|---|
| Type | Statutory Recall (government-mandated recall) |
| Date filed | April 20, 2005 |

Filing in context
The Pressure Control / Transmission Unit is the most frequently cited component category in this archive, appearing in 14 of its 4,890 filings. This filing is one of 140 Mitsubishi notifications from 2005 in this archive. For scale, 2,387 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 4 years and 6 months.
Defect
The fitting angle of the connector at the switching valve mounting point on the parking brake air hose is incorrect, causing the rear brake air hose and the parking brake air hose to contact each other when the vehicle body bounces. Continued use allows driving vibration to rub the two hoses against each other, causing wear. In the worst case, a hole may form in a hose, resulting in air leakage. This may cause insufficient braking force or prevent the parking brake from releasing. (Note: This notification supersedes the recall filed on June 15, 2004 under notification number 1110. The corrective measures from that recall were determined to be insufficient; the remedy content and scope have been revised and are being re-implemented.)
Corrective action
On all vehicles, correct the fitting angle to ensure adequate clearance between both hoses. Any air hose found to be damaged will be replaced with a new unit.

状況
駐車ブレーキ用エアホースの切替え弁取付部の口金の角度が不適切なため、車体のバウンド時に後輪ブレーキ用エアホースと駐車ブレーキ用エアホースが干渉するものがある。そのため、そのままの状態で使用を続けると、走行時の振動等で当該ホース同士がこすれて摩耗し、最悪の場合、ホースに穴が開いてエアが洩れ、制動力が不足する、又は駐車ブレーキが解除できなくなるおそれがある。 （備考）本届出は、平成１６年６月１５日付け「届出番号１１１０」のリコール届出において、不具合に対する改善措置の内容が不十分であったため、改善措置の内容及び対象範囲を見直し、再度対策を行うものである。
改善措置
全車両、当該口金の角度を修正し、両ホースの隙間を確保する。 なお、エアホースに損傷があるものは新品と交換する。
