Filing in context
The Wiring is the most frequently cited component category in this archive, appearing in 236 of its 4,890 filings. This filing is one of 49 Mitsubishi notifications from 2008 in this archive. For scale, 3,483 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 10 years and 8 months.
Defect
The electrical wiring for the electronically controlled transmission is routed incorrectly, allowing it to contact the fuel tank. Continued operation under these conditions allows driving vibration to damage the wiring. In the worst case, an alarm lamp illuminates, gear position display malfunctions, gear shifting becomes inoperable, and the vehicle becomes inoperable.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, inspect the affected wiring. If the routing is incorrect, reroute the wiring and install protective material on both the wiring and the fuel tank. If the wiring is damaged, repair it.
