Filing in context
The Other (Engine) is the most frequently cited component category in this archive, appearing in 46 of its 4,890 filings. This filing is one of 27 Mitsubishi notifications from 2019 in this archive. For scale, 1,546 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 1 month.
Defect
The airflow sensor has been evaluated with insufficient consideration of sulfide corrosion resistance. Sulfur gas emitted from the intake system rubber hose corrodes the sensor's internal resistor, which may cause a broken wire. This illuminates the EV system warning light, and fail-safe mode limits driving output. The engine may then fail to start. If the engine does not start, the battery cannot be recharged, and continued driving will deplete the remaining charge, rendering the vehicle inoperable.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the airflow sensor with a corrected part.

状況
エアフローセンサーにおいて、硫化腐食耐性の評価が不十分なため、吸気系ゴムホースから発生した硫黄ガスにより、内部の抵抗が腐食し断線することがある。そのため、ＥＶシステム警告灯が点灯し、フェールセーフにより走行出力が制限され、さらにエンジンが始動しないおそれがある。エンジンが始動しない場合、充電が行われないため、そのまま走行を続けると、バッテリー残量が無くなり、走行不能となるおそれがある。
改善措置
全車両、エアフローセンサーを対策品と交換する。
