Filing in context
The Clutch is the most frequently cited component category in this archive, appearing in 31 of its 4,890 filings. This filing is one of 86 Mitsubishi notifications from 2007 in this archive. For scale, 4,369 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 9 years and 4 months.
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.
