Filing in context
The Clutch is the most frequently cited component category in this archive, appearing in 31 of its 4,890 filings. This filing is one of 80 Mitsubishi notifications from 2013 in this archive. For scale, 2,139 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 5 years and 6 months.
Defect
The weld joint on the clutch master cylinder has insufficient strength, which may cause the cylinder to fracture and leak fluid. If fluid leaks, clutch operation is lost, preventing gear changes and making it impossible to move the vehicle from a stop.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the clutch master cylinder with the corrected part and install an interference-prevention plate between the clutch pedal and the clutch master cylinder.
