Filing in context
The Exhaust Emission Reduction Device 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, 2,039 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.
Defect
The EGR valve bushing seal design at the valve shaft is inadequate, causing sealing performance to degrade during valve shaft operation and allowing exhaust gas to enter the motor. Exhaust gas intrusion causes abnormal wear of the brushes inside the motor, leading to a conduction fault. When this occurs, the EGR valve ceases to function and the engine warning light illuminates.
Corrective action
Inspect the EGR valve on all vehicles to identify its configuration. If the valve has the pre-revision seal design, replace it with a corrected part.

状況
排気ガス再循環（ＥＧＲ）バルブにおいて、バルブシャフト部にあるブッシュのシール構造が不適切なため、バルブシャフト作動時にシール性が低下し、排気ガスがモータ内に侵入する場合がある。その後、モータ内部にあるブラシが異常摩耗することにより導通不良が発生すると、ＥＧＲバルブの機能が停止し、エンジン警告灯が点灯する。
改善措置
全車両、排気ガス再循環（ＥＧＲ）バルブの外観形状を確認し、シール構造変更前品の場合には対策品と交換する。
