Overview
| MLIT filing number | 1114420 |
|---|---|
| Type | Statutory Recall (government-mandated recall) |
| Date filed | June 1, 2005 |
| Manufacturer(s) | Mitsubishi |
| Component | Wiring |
| Production period | October 23, 1992 — August 27, 2004 |
| Vehicles affected | 4,460 units |
Defect
In medium-duty buses, the electrical wiring inside the engine compartment was routed improperly, causing the wiring on some vehicles to contact the bolts securing the muffler. Vehicle vibration during driving damages the wiring insulation, leading to a short circuit. In the worst case, the rear lighting units may fail to illuminate or the engine may become unable to start.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, add mounting clips to the affected wiring and reroute it away from the muffler bolts. Additionally, inspect the wiring and repair any damaged sections.
