Overview
| MLIT filing number | 1118100 |
|---|---|
| Type | Statutory Recall (government-mandated recall) |
| Date filed | January 31, 2007 |
| Manufacturer(s) | Mitsubishi |
| Component | Spring / Air Suspension |
| Production period | November 19, 1996 — November 2002 |
| Vehicles affected | 288 units |
Defect
On rear-tandem-axle trucks, the rear spring retaining clip on the rear trailing axle (non-drive axle) has an incorrect shape. Under high-center-of-gravity load conditions during sharp turns, the rear spring may disengage from the retaining clip, causing the vehicle to lean. In the worst case, driving stability may be compromised.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, inspect the affected components. Where a nonconforming part is found, add an extension plate to the upper retaining clip tab on the rear trailing axle.
