This filing is one of 39 Mitsubishi notifications from 2022 in this archive. For scale, 1,019 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 9 months.
Defect
The engine ECU contains a control program with an error that allows excessive deposit buildup inside the EGR (exhaust gas recirculation) circuit. The accumulated deposits restrict exhaust gas flow through the EGR circuit, causing the engine warning light to illuminate and disabling the engine idling stop function. Additionally, hardened deposits may break free and become lodged in the intake valves, causing an engine stall from which the engine cannot be restarted.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, reprogram the engine ECU with the corrected/updated software. Also replace the EGR cooler and related EGR components with new parts, or clean them as applicable.

状況
エンジンＥＣＵにおいて、制御プログラムが不適切なため、ＥＧＲ（排気ガス再循環装置）経路内にデポジットが多く堆積することがある。そのため、堆積したデポジットにより、ＥＧＲ経路内の排気ガスの流量が低下し、エンジン警告灯が点灯してアイドリングストップ機能が停止するおそれがある。または、堆積し硬質化したデポジットが剥がれ落ち、吸気バルブに噛み込むことにより、エンンストし再始動できなくなるおそれがある。
改善措置
全車両、エンジンＥＣＵの制御プログラムを対策仕様に書き替える。また、ＥＧＲクーラーなどのＥＧＲ関連部品を新品と交換、または清掃する。
