Filing in context
The Other (engine) is the most frequently cited component category in this archive, appearing in 19 of its 4,890 filings. This filing is one of 86 Mitsubishi notifications from 2007 in this archive. For scale, 1,947 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 6 years and 1 month.
Defect
Improper machining of the engine rear mount seating surface results in insufficient clamping force on the mount's fixing bolts. Repeated hard acceleration or rough-road driving causes the mounting bolts to loosen. Continued use allows the bolts to fall out entirely, causing the engine to shift out of its correct position. In the worst case, gear shift operation becomes difficult and the vehicle becomes inoperable.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, inspect the torque on the engine rear mount clamping bolts: if within the specified value, retighten to the specified torque; if below the specified value, replace the mount and bolts with new parts. Simultaneously inspect the flywheel housing bolt threads and replace the flywheel housing if damage is found. If all clamping bolts on one side of the mount have fallen out, inspect the propeller shaft for play.

状況
エンジンリヤマウントの座面加工が不適切なため、当該マウントの固定ボルトの軸力が不足しており、急発進・悪路走行等を繰り返した場合に、当該マウントの締付ボルトに緩みが発生するものがある。そのため、そのままの状態で使用を続けると、当該締付ボルトが脱落して、エンジン搭載位置にずれが生じ、最悪の場合、シフト操作が困難になる等、走行不能となるおそれがある。
改善措置
全車両、エンジンリヤマウントの締付ボルトの締付け状態を点検し、規定トルク値内の場合は指定トルク値にて締付け、規定トルク値以下の場合は当該マウント及び締付ボルトを新品と交換する。同時にフライホイールハウジングのボルトねじ穴を点検し、損傷がある場合はフライホイールハウジングを交換する。また、片側マウントの締付ボルトの全数が脱落していた場合は、プロペラシャフトのガタ点検をする。
