Overview
| MLIT filing number | 1118610 |
|---|---|
| Type | Statutory Recall (government-mandated recall) |
| Date filed | April 6, 2007 |
| Manufacturer(s) | Mitsubishi |
| Component | Propeller Shaft |
| Production period | September 30, 1984 — February 1989 |
| Vehicles affected | 16 units |
Defect
In the powertrain, the weld joining the propeller shaft pipe to the spline shaft has insufficient fatigue strength. Repeated aggressive starts from rest or repeated hill starts may cause a crack to develop at the weld. Continued use allows the crack to propagate and, in the worst case, the propeller shaft fractures, leaving the vehicle inoperable.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the propeller shaft with the corrected part.
