Filing in context
The Suspension Arm/Rod is the most frequently cited component category in this archive, appearing in 24 of its 4,890 filings. This filing is one of 70 Mitsubishi notifications from 2006 in this archive. For scale, 1,471 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 5 years and 8 months.
Defect
On rear two-axle heavy trucks with a non-driven rear trailing axle, the trunnion base of the rear axle suspension has insufficient strength. Stress generated during minimum-radius turning can cause cracks to develop in the trunnion base. Continued use allows the cracks to propagate and, in the worst case, the base may fracture, rendering the vehicle inoperable.
Corrective action
Replace the trunnion base assembly on all vehicles with a corrected unit.
