Filing in context
The Fuel Hose / Pipe is the most frequently cited component category in this archive, appearing in 62 of its 4,890 filings. This filing is one of 46 Mitsubishi notifications from 2012 in this archive. For scale, 1,368 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 2 years and 1 month.
Defect
On certain light trucks and buses, the rubber cushion used to secure the fuel return hose to the engine body was improperly manufactured. Phthalates leaching from the rubber cause the fuel return hose connection to loosen and the hose to separate from the orifice fitting, resulting in a fuel leak. In the worst case, this may lead to a vehicle fire.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, add a clamp to the fuel return hose connection point.
