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, 1,239 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 9 months.
Defect
The chassis electrical wiring routed beneath the cabin floor is improperly routed, causing it to contact the bracket that secures the engine harness on some vehicles. Continued use allows vibration from driving to short circuit the wiring and blow the fuse, or cause a disconnection. In the worst case, the speedometer may stop functioning, or the turn signals and hazard warning lights may fail to illuminate.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, inspect the clearance between the chassis electrical wiring and the bracket. If the clearance is below the specified value, adjust the clamp position to secure adequate clearance. If clearance adjustment is not possible, replace the wiring mounting bracket with the corrected part. If the wiring is damaged, perform the necessary repair.

状況
キャビン床下のシャシ用電気配線の取り回しが不適切なため、エンジンハーネスを固定する金具と当該配線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、走行等の振動により当該配線がショートしてヒューズが切れる、又は断線して、最悪の場合、速度計が作動しなくなる、又は方向指示器及び非常点滅表示灯が点灯しなくなるおそれがある。
改善措置
全車両、シャシ用電気配線と金具の隙間を点検し、隙間が規定値以下の場合クランプ位置を調整し隙間を確保する。隙間調整が困難な場合は、当該配線の取付金具を対策品と交換する。 なお、当該配線が損傷している場合は、補修を実施する。
