Overview
| MLIT filing number | 1134413 |
|---|---|
| Type | Statutory Recall (government-mandated recall) |
| Date filed | October 16, 2014 |
| Manufacturer(s) | Mitsubishi |
| Component | Turbocharger |
| Production period | September 2008 — March 24, 2014 |
| Vehicles affected | 8,871 units |
Defect
The linkage that drives the variable nozzle vanes in the turbocharger has insufficient corrosion resistance, allowing rust to develop and the linkage to seize. When this occurs, the engine ECU detects abnormal boost pressure, illuminates the engine warning light, and activates a fail-safe mode with reduced power output. Exhaust gas emissions may also exceed the regulatory limit.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the turnbuckle in the variable nozzle vane drive linkage of the turbocharger with a corrected part, and reprogram the engine ECU with the corrected software.

状況
ターボチャージャの可変ノズルベーンを駆動するリンク部の耐食性が不十分なため、当該リンク部が発錆して固着する場合がある。そのため、エンジンＥＣＵが過給圧異常を検出してエンジン警告灯が点灯し、出力制限を伴うフェールセーフモードに入るとともに、排気ガス濃度が基準値を超過するおそれがある。
改善措置
全車両、ターボチャージャの可変ノズルベーンを駆動するリンク部のターンバックルを対策品と交換し、エンジンＥＣＵのプログラムを対策品に書き替える。
