Filing in context
The Engine (General) is the most frequently cited component category in this archive, appearing in 48 of its 4,890 filings. This filing is one of 47 Mitsubishi notifications from 2016 in this archive. For scale, 2,468 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 4 years and 11 months.
Defect
On the cooling system of large tractors, an improperly selected fan shaft pulley bearing allows the shaft to tilt during high-speed operation, reducing the bearing's sealing performance. This allows grease inside the pulley to leak, leading to insufficient lubrication, abnormal bearing wear, and bearing seizure. In the worst case, the fan may contact the radiator, causing coolant to leak and rendering the vehicle inoperable.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the fan shaft pulley bracket assembly—including the bracket and pulley—with an assembly incorporating a corrected bearing. Additionally, inspect the fan belt, fan, and radiator; replace any components showing damage attributable to this defect with new parts.

状況
大型トラクタの冷却装置において、ファンシャフトプーリーベアリングの選定が不適切なため、高速走行時にシャフトが傾き、プーリーベアリングの密閉性が低くなることがある。そのため、プーリー内のグリースが漏れ、潤滑不良でベアリングが異常摩耗して、ベアリングが焼き付き、最悪の場合、ファンがラジエータに干渉して冷却水が漏れ、走行不能になるおそれがある。
改善措置
全車両、対策品のベアリングを組込んだファンシャフトプーリーブラケット一式（ブラケット、プーリー等）に交換する。また、ファンベルト、ファン、ラジエータを点検し、本不具合による損傷が認められた部品は新品と交換する。
