| MLIT filing number | 1126970 |
|---|---|
| Type | Statutory Recall (government-mandated recall) |
| Date filed | January 27, 2011 |
| Manufacturer(s) | Mitsubishi |
| Component | Propeller Shaft |
| Production period | July 23, 2010 — September 2010 |
| Vehicles affected | 3 units |
Defect
On vehicles where the air tank has been relocated, the clearance between the propeller shaft and the protector (propeller shaft support bracket) is insufficient. When the rear suspension compresses, the propeller shaft may contact the protector. Continued operation under these conditions can damage the propeller shaft and, in the worst case, render the vehicle inoperable.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the protector (propeller shaft support bracket) with a corrected part. Inspect the propeller shaft for contact marks from the protector; if contact marks are found, replace the propeller shaft with a new one.

状況
エアタンクを移設した車両において、プロペラシャフトとプロテクタ（プロペラシャフトサポートブラケット）との隙間が不適切なため、リヤサスペンションが縮んだ際に干渉する場合がある。そのため、そのままの状態で使用を続けると、プロペラシャフトが破損し、最悪の場合、走行不能に至るおそれがある。
改善措置
全車両、プロテクタ（プロペラシャフトサポートブラケット）を対策品に交換する。また、プロペラシャフトを点検し、プロテクタとの干渉痕がある場合は、プロペラシャフトを新品に交換する。
