Filing in context
This notification is a joint filing by 2 manufacturers: Mitsubishi & Suzuki.
This is the only filing in the archive that cites the Engine Blow-By Gas Recirculation System (PCV Valve) as the affected component. This filing is one of 39 Mitsubishi notifications from 2022 in this archive. For scale, 4,065 of the 4,890 filings in this archive report a larger number of affected vehicles.
Defect
In the engine's blow-by gas recirculation system, some PCV valves were improperly assembled in an incomplete seating condition. As the vehicle ages, engine oil may leak from the insertion point of the PCV valve. In the worst case, engine oil drips onto the exhaust pipe, causing a vehicle fire.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, the seating condition of the PCV valve is inspected. If the valve is not fully seated, it is corrected to the proper position.
