Filing in context
This notification is a joint filing by 3 manufacturers: Mitsubishi, Nissan & Nissan Diesel.
This is the only filing in the archive that cites the Fuel rail system as the affected component. This filing is one of 49 Mitsubishi notifications from 2008 in this archive. For scale, 2,241 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 4 months.
Defect
Improper machining during the manufacturing of the fuel supply pump in the fuel injection system causes a crack to develop inside the pump, allowing fuel to leak into the engine oil. The fuel-contaminated oil is then drawn through the blowby gas passage into the intake manifold, where it combusts in the cylinder. This causes engine overspeed, engine shutdown, and inability to restart. In the worst case, fuel-contaminated engine oil may leak and result in a vehicle fire.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the fuel supply pump with a conforming unit.

状況
燃料噴射装置において、燃料供給ポンプの製造時の加工が不適切なため、当該ポンプの内部に亀裂が発生し、燃料が漏れ、エンジンオイルに混入するものがある。そのため、そのままの状態で使用を続けると、燃料の混入したオイルがブローバイガスの通路を経由して吸気管に吸入されシリンダー内で燃焼するため、エンジン回転の上昇、エンジン停止及び再始動不能となり、最悪の場合、燃料の混入したエンジンオイルが漏れ火災となるおそれがある。
改善措置
全車両、燃料供給ポンプを良品と交換する。
