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 70 Mitsubishi notifications from 2006 in this archive. For scale, 4,662 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 2 months.
Defect
On large all-wheel-drive vehicles, the electrical wiring routed inside the left-side frame is improperly routed, causing it to contact the brake hose mounting bracket or the power steering oil pipe. Vehicle vibration can damage the wiring or the steering pipe. In the worst case, the headlights may fail to illuminate, the engine may stall and be unable to restart, or steering effort may increase significantly. Note: This recall supplements notification no. 1389, dated March 23, 2005, due to an error in the original vehicle selection; additional vehicles are now included.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, secure the electrical wiring and power steering pipe to the bracket. If the wiring is damaged, repair it. If the steering pipe is damaged, replace it with a new part.
