Filing in context
The Engine is the most frequently cited component category in this archive, appearing in 72 of its 4,890 filings. This filing is one of 31 Mitsubishi notifications from 2010 in this archive. For scale, 4,467 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 3 years and 3 months.
Defect
The flange on the fixed shaft of the camshaft-drive head idler gear in the engine has insufficient strength margin. Use of degraded engine oil or similar conditions accelerates wear of the bushing, causing play to develop between the bushing and the fixed shaft. Continued use under these conditions generates excessive stress at the base of the shaft flange, which may damage the flange and cause the gear to interfere with surrounding components. In the worst case, the gear may disengage, causing the engine to stall and rendering it unable to restart.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the fixed shaft with a corrected part having an increased flange thickness. Additionally, inspect the idler gear bushing; if abnormal wear is found, replace the complete idler gear assembly with a new unit.

状況
原動機のカムシャフト駆動用ヘッドアイドラギヤの固定シャフトつば部の強度に余裕がないため、劣化したエンジンオイルの使用等により、ブッシュの摩耗が早まりブッシュと固定シャフトの間にガタが生じる場合がある。そのため、そのまま使用を続けると、シャフトつば部の付け根に過大な応力が発生することがあり、つば部が破損してギヤが周辺部品と干渉し、最悪の場合、当該ギヤの噛み合いが外れて、エンジンが停止し再始動不能となるおそれがある。
改善措置
全車両、固定シャフトのつば部厚さを増大した対策品に交換する。 なお、アイドラギヤブッシュを点検し、異常摩耗しているものは、アイドラギヤ一式を新品と交換する。
