This filing is one of 49 Mitsubishi notifications from 2008 in this archive.

Defect
Insufficient clearance between the front wheel brake air line and the parking brake air line allows the two lines to contact each other. Continued operation under these conditions allows driving vibration to wear through the front wheel brake air line. In the worst case, air leaks from the line and braking force is reduced.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the front wheel brake air line with a corrected part. If the parking brake air line shows damage, replace it with a new part.

状況
前輪ブレーキ用エア配管と駐車ブレーキ用エア配管との隙間が不足しているため、干渉するものがある。そのため、そのままの状態で使用を続けると、走行中の振動等により前輪ブレーキ用エア配管が摩耗し、最悪の場合、エアが漏れて制動力が低下するおそれがある。
改善措置
全車両、前輪ブレーキ用エア配管を対策品と交換する。また、駐車ブレーキ用エア配管に損傷がある場合は、新品と交換する。
