Overview
| MLIT filing number | 1114530 |
|---|---|
| Type | Statutory Recall (government-mandated recall) |
| Date filed | June 15, 2005 |
| Manufacturer(s) | Mitsubishi |
| Component | Engine assembly |
| Production period | May 21, 2004 — July 21, 2004 |
| Vehicles affected | 446 units |
Defect
An improper piston casting process allowed pistons with casting defects near the piston pin boss to be installed in the engine. Continued high-RPM operation causes a crack to develop at that location. In the worst case, the piston may fracture, causing the engine to stall.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the complete engine assembly with an engine assembled with conforming pistons.

状況
ピストンの鋳造工程が不適切なため、ピストンピンボス部付近に鋳造不良のあるピストンをエンジンに組み付けたものがある。 そのため、そのまま長時間高回転で使用を続けると、当該部に亀裂が発生し、最悪の場合、ピストンが破損し、エンジンが停止するおそれがある。
改善措置
全車両、エンジン一式を良品のピストンを組込んだエンジンと交換する。
