Filing in context
The Propeller Shaft is the most frequently cited component category in this archive, appearing in 52 of its 4,890 filings. This filing is one of 36 Mitsubishi notifications from 2021 in this archive. For scale, 1,462 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.
Defect
On air suspension-equipped heavy-duty trucks (4-axle configuration), the tandem propeller shaft—connecting the rear-front axle and rear-rear axle—is set to an incorrect length. When the shaft compresses to its minimum length, the spline shaft pushes against the plug and may cause the plug to fall out, creating a hazard to other traffic.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, fit a resin retaining band to the tandem propeller shaft as an interim measure to prevent plug ejection. Once available, replace the tandem propeller shaft with a corrected part.
