Overview
| MLIT filing number | 1120140 |
|---|---|
| Type | Statutory Recall (government-mandated recall) |
| Date filed | December 4, 2007 |
| Manufacturer(s) | Mitsubishi |
| Component | Clutch |
| Production period | March 12, 1985 — July 1994 |
| Vehicles affected | 24 units |
Defect
The clutch housing, which joins the engine and transmission, has insufficient strength. When drivetrain vibration increases at high vehicle speeds, cracks may develop in the clutch housing. Continued use allows the cracks to propagate and, in the worst case, the clutch housing may fracture.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the clutch housing with a corrected part.

状況
エンジンとトランスミッションの結合部（クラッチハウジング）の強度が不足しているため、高速走行時に駆動系の振動が増加した場合、クラッチハウジングに亀裂が生じるものがある。そのため、そのままの状態で使用を続けると亀裂が進行し、最悪の場合、クラッチハウジングが破断するおそれがある。
改善措置
全車両、クラッチハウジングを対策品に交換する。
