Filing in context
The Computer is the most frequently cited component category in this archive, appearing in 42 of its 4,890 filings. This filing is one of 38 Mitsubishi notifications from 2017 in this archive. For scale, 833 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 1 year and 7 months.
Defect
The relay used for power control of the engine control unit contains an improperly made internal weld. During use, the weld joint generates abnormal heat and separates, causing a loss of electrical continuity. This may cause the engine to stall while driving and prevent restart. On vehicles equipped with an idling stop system, the engine warning light may illuminate and engine output may be reduced.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the relay with a non-defective unit.
