This filing is one of 39 Mitsubishi notifications from 2022 in this archive.

Defect
On four-axle heavy trucks, the left front and rear wheel fender flaps were not adequately designed, allowing the fender flap to continuously contact the resin-based urea solution tank during vehicle operation. Driving vibration and repeated contact cause the tank to abrade. In the worst case, the tank may be perforated, resulting in a urea solution leak.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, install additional anti-vibration brackets on the left front and rear wheel fender flaps. Inspect the urea solution tank and replace it if abrasion is found.

状況
大型トラック４軸車輌の左前後輪フェンダフラップにおいて、設計検討が不適切なため、走行時にフェンダフラップと樹脂製尿素水タンクが干渉し続けることがある。そのため、走行振動などで尿素水タンクに削れが生じ、最悪の場合、尿素水タンクに穴があき尿素水が漏れだすおそれがある。
改善措置
全車両、左前後輪フェンダフラップの振れ止めを追加取り付けする。尿素水タンクの点検をおこない、削れがある場合は尿素水タンクを交換する。
