| MLIT filing number | 1139180 |
|---|---|
| Type | Statutory Recall (government-mandated recall) |
| Date filed | November 4, 2016 |
| Manufacturer(s) | Mitsubishi |
| Component | Body structure |
| Production period | July 18, 2016 — July 21, 2016 |
| Vehicles affected | 57 units |
Defect
The welding robot gun path setting used during manufacturing is incorrect, causing the gun to interfere with the left rear section of the rear floor panel. On affected vehicles, the rear floor panel was welded in a misaligned position. This results in insufficient structural strength in the left rear of the body. In a rear-end collision, fuel system components may be damaged, causing a fuel leak.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, inspect the left rear section of the rear floor panel. On vehicles where the panel was welded in a misaligned position, reposition the rear floor panel to the correct location and reweld.

状況
リヤフロアーパネルにおいて、溶接ロボットの溶接ガンの軌道の設定が不適切なため、溶接ガンがリヤフロアーパネルの左後部と干渉し、リヤフロアーパネルの位置がずれた状態で溶接されたものがある。そのため、車体左後部の強度が不足し、後面衝突時に燃料系部品が破損して燃料が漏れるおそれがある。
改善措置
全車両、リヤフロアーパネルの左後部を点検し、リヤフロアーパネルの位置がずれた状態で溶接されているものは、リヤフロアーパネルを正規の位置に戻し、再度溶接を実施する。
