Filing in context
This is the only filing in the archive that cites the Rearview Mirror / Camera as the affected component. This filing is one of 29 Mitsubishi notifications from 2023 in this archive. For scale, 1,360 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 9 months.
Defect
In the navigation system, high processing load during startup prevents the display from rendering video properly. If the vehicle is shifted into reverse immediately after the system starts, the camera image may temporarily cut out. When this occurs, the driver cannot see the area directly behind and to the left of the vehicle, and the system may fail to conform to Safety Standards Article 44 (standards for mirrors and rearward visibility devices).
Corrective action
On all vehicles, reprogram the navigation system control software to corrected specifications to prevent camera image interruption.
