|---|---|
| Type | Statutory Recall (government-mandated recall) |
| Date filed | April 4, 2014 |
| Manufacturer(s) | Mitsubishi |
| Component | Drive Power Supply (Battery) |
| Production period | January 17, 2013 — March 27, 2013 |
| Vehicles affected | 4,621 units |
Defect
In the Battery Management Unit (BMU) that calculates the remaining drive battery charge, the control program is incorrect. If the vehicle is operated continuously in hybrid drive mode*1 without using external charging or charge mode, the actual remaining battery level may not be displayed correctly on the charge gauge. As a result, the gauge may show sufficient charge remaining while the actual charge continues to decrease, and the vehicle may become inoperable without the EV system warning light illuminating. *1 Hybrid drive mode: a mode in which the vehicle drives while maintaining the battery charge level once it has decreased to a set value.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, reprogram the BMU control program with the corrected software.

状況
駆動用電池の電池残量を演算するバッテリーマネージメントユニット（ＢＭＵ）において、制御プログラムが不適切なため、外部充電やチャージモードを利用しないで、ハイブリッド走行モード＊１のみの使用を継続した場合、実際の電池残量が正しく残量メータに表示されないことがある。そのため、残量メータでは電池残量があるように表示されているにもかかわらず、実際の電池残量は減少しており、ＥＶシステム警告灯の点灯なく走行不能になるおそれがある。 ＊１ ハイブリッド走行モード：電池残量が一定値まで減少した状態で、その残量を維持しながら走行するモード
改善措置
全車両、ＢＭＵの制御プログラムを対策品に書き替える。
