Overview
| MLIT filing number | 1116950 |
|---|---|
| Type | Statutory Recall (government-mandated recall) |
| Date filed | July 6, 2006 |
| Manufacturer(s) | Mitsubishi |
| Component | Axle |
| Production period | August 2005 — December 13, 2005 |
| Vehicles affected | 64 units |
Defect
On the rear axle, improper machining of the frame's axle support section prevents the bush from seating correctly, creating a gap between the frame and the axle mounting plate. Continued use causes the clamping torque on the fastening bolts to decrease, allowing the bolts to loosen and the plate to detach. In the worst case, the rear axle separates from the frame and the vehicle becomes inoperable.
Corrective action
Inspect all vehicles for the presence of a gap and verify bolt clamping torque at the affected section. Where a gap exists, insert the appropriate number of shims to eliminate it.

状況
ヤアクスルにおいて、フレームのアクスルサポート部の加工が不適切なため、ブッシュが適正に組み付けされず、フレームとアクスル取付プレートの間に隙間が生じているものがある。そのため、そのまま使用を続けた場合、フレームとプレートを締結するボルトの締付トルクが低下し取付ボルトが緩み、プレートが脱落し、最悪の場合、フレームからリヤアクスルが外れ、走行不能に至るおそれがある。
改善措置
車両、当該部の隙間有無とボルト締付トルクを点検し、隙間が発生する場合は、シムを適宜枚数挿入して隙間が発生しないように措置する。
