Filing in context
This filing is one of 49 Mitsubishi notifications from 2008 in this archive. For scale, 3,229 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 4 months.
Defect
On combustion heaters used for cabin heating, the fuel pump of the burner head (combustion unit) was manufactured incorrectly on some units. Continued use may cause fuel to leak from the fuel pump, and in the worst case, the leaked fuel may ignite from the heater's heat, resulting in a vehicle fire.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the burner head with one equipped with a corrected fuel pump assembly.
