Filing in context
The Wiring is the most frequently cited component category in this archive, appearing in 236 of its 4,890 filings. This filing is one of 140 Mitsubishi notifications from 2005 in this archive. For scale, 2,051 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 1 year and 2 months.
Defect
The electrical wiring routed inside the instrument cluster was improperly assembled. When the steering wheel is slid to its fully forward position, the wiring contacts the tachograph mounting bracket, which may damage the wiring. Continued operation in this condition can cause a short circuit or broken wire in the affected wiring and, in the worst case, may result in headlight failure or the engine being unable to start.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, correct the wiring routing and replace the tachograph mounting bracket with a corrected part to ensure adequate clearance between the wiring and the bracket. If the wiring is damaged, repair it.

状況
メータクラスタ内の電気配線の取り回しが不適切なため、ステアリングホイールの位置を最前方へスライドさせると、当該配線が運行記録計の取付け金具と干渉し、当該配線が損傷するものがある。そのため、そのままの状態で使用すると、当該配線がショート、又は切断して、最悪の場合、前照灯が不灯になる、又はエンジンが始動不能となるおそれがある。
改善措置
全車両、当該配線の取り回しを修正するとともに運行記録計の取付け金具を対策品と交換し、当該配線と運行記録計の取付け金具との隙間を確保する。なお、当該配線が損傷している場合には、補修する。
