Filing in context
The Pressure control/transmission unit is the most frequently cited component category in this archive, appearing in 14 of its 4,890 filings. This filing is one of 140 Mitsubishi notifications from 2005 in this archive. For scale, 1,965 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 3 years and 2 months.
Defect
The structure connecting the valve and piston inside the pressure-intensifying cylinder of the hydraulic booster is improperly designed. Hydraulic pressure generated when the brake pedal is applied may cause the valve and piston to separate. As a result, braking force may not release after the brake pedal is returned. (Note: This recall addresses a new defect identified in vehicles previously subject to recall notification No. 1168, issued July 21, 2004, and applies a revised remedy.)
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the pressure-intensifying cylinder assembly with the corrected part.

状況
ハイドロリックブースタの増圧シリンダ内部のバルブとピストンを連結する構造が不適切なため、ブレーキペダルを踏んだ際に発生する液圧によりバルブとピストンとが外れる場合がある。 そのため、ブレーキペダルを戻した後も制動力が解除されないおそれがある。 （備考）本届出は、平成１６年７月２１日付け「届出番号１１６８」によりリコール届出を行ったものに対して、新たな不具合が出たため、再度対策を行うものである。
改善措置
全車両、増圧シリンダ一式を対策品と交換する。
