Filing in context
The Turn Signal is the most frequently cited component category in this archive, appearing in 21 of its 4,890 filings. This filing is one of 80 Mitsubishi notifications from 2013 in this archive. For scale, 1,927 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 9 months.
Defect
The ETACS ECU program — which controls the turn signals, hazard warning lamps, and related functions — is inappropriate. When the electric tailgate is operated, the hazard answerback (confirmation of operation receipt via hazard lamp flashing) may fail to activate. When this occurs, subsequent turn signal lever operation will not illuminate the turn signals.
Corrective action
Reprogram the ETACS ECU on all vehicles with the corrected software. Because parts supply for the remedy requires additional time, as an interim measure all owners will be notified of the condition and, until the replacement parts are available, asked to manually operate the hazard warning lamp switch after using the electric tailgate and before driving.

状況
②ＥＴＡＣＳ ＥＣＵ（方向指示器、非常点滅表示灯などを制御するＥＣＵ）のプログラムが不適切なため、エレクトリックテールゲート作動時のハザードアンサーバック（非常点滅表示灯点滅による作動受付確認）が作動しない場合があり、このとき、方向指示器レバーの操作をおこなっても方向指示器が点灯しない。
改善措置
②全車両、ＥＴＡＣＳ ＥＣＵのプログラムを対策品に書き換える。 なお、改善措置用部品の供給に時間を要することから、当面の暫定措置として、全ての使用者に不具合の内容を通知し、交換部品の準備が整うまでの間、エレクトリックテールゲートを使用した際には、走行前に非常点滅表示灯スイッチを操作して頂くことを要請する。
