Filing in context
The Seat Belt is the most frequently cited component category in this archive, appearing in 55 of its 4,890 filings. This filing is one of 36 Mitsubishi notifications from 2021 in this archive. For scale, 1,671 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 5 months.
Defect
On medium-duty trucks, the harness for the seat belt buckle sensor — which detects whether the driver's seat belt is fastened — is improperly routed. During normal use, the seat belt buckle may repeatedly pinch the harness, causing damage. This damage may cause the seat belt unfastened warning light and audible alarm to malfunction.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the driver's seat belt buckle assembly with a corrected part.
