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, 2,737 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 11 months.
Defect
The engine control wiring harness is incorrectly routed, allowing it to contact the cooling fan. Continued operation allows vehicle vibration to damage the wiring, illuminating the engine warning lamp and causing the engine to lose power or run unstably. In the worst case, the engine may stall and cannot be restarted.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the wiring harness mounting bracket with the corrected part and reroute the wiring. If the wiring is found to be damaged, repair it.

状況
②エンジン制御用電気配線の取り回しが不適切なため、クーリングファンと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、車両走行時の振動等により電気配線が損傷し、エンジン制御ランプが点灯して回転が上がらなくなる、又は、回転が不安定となり、最悪の場合、原動機が停止（再始動不可）するおそれがある。
改善措置
②全車両、電気配線の固定金具を対策品と交換すると供に、取り回しを変更する。 なお、電気配線が損傷している場合には、補修する。
