Overview
| MLIT filing number | 1115520 |
|---|---|
| Type | Statutory Recall (government-mandated recall) |
| Date filed | November 15, 2005 |
| Manufacturer(s) | Mitsubishi |
| Component | Wiring |
| Production period | January 18, 2000 — September 2002 |
| Vehicles affected | 69,635 units |
Defect
The printed circuit board for the generator activation circuit, located on the back of the combination meter, is improperly designed. Rising cabin temperatures and heat generated by the meter itself cause the circuit board to expand and contract repeatedly, producing excessive stress in the circuit traces. This cycling causes broken wires in the traces. As a result, the generator fails to activate at startup and, in the worst case, the engine stalls during driving and cannot be restarted.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the generator activation circuit on the printed circuit board with a corrected/revised part.

状況
コンビネーションメータ裏側にある発電機起動回路のプリント基板が不適切なため、室内温度上昇及びメータの自己発熱によるプリント基板の熱膨張により、パターンに過大な応力が発生し、その繰返しにより断線することがある。そのため、始動時に発電機が起動しなくなり、最悪の場合、走行中エンストし再始動ができなくなるおそれがある。
改善措置
全車両、プリント基板上の発電機起動回路を対策回路に変更する。
