Filing in context
The Computer is the most frequently cited component category in this archive, appearing in 42 of its 4,890 filings. This filing is one of 41 Mitsubishi notifications from 2024 in this archive. For scale, 922 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 2 years and 5 months.
Defect
In the combination meter, the control program is incorrect. When the vehicle is started or the engine is started, the warning display duration alerting the driver that a rear-seat occupant's seat belt is unfastened may fail to meet the display time required by law. As a result, the vehicle does not conform to Safety Standards Article 22-3 (Seat Belts, etc.).
Corrective action
On all vehicles, reprogram the meter ECU control program to the corrected specification, or replace the combination meter with the corrected part. Additionally, explain to owners that the corrected software changes the seat belt warning display duration and warning lamp activation conditions, and distribute an in-vehicle reference instruction sheet.

状況
コンビネーションメーターにおいて、制御プログラムが不適切なため、車両起動時または、エンジン始動時に後席用シートベルトが非着用であることを知らせる警告表示時間が、法規で定められた表示時間を満たさないことがある。そのため、保安基準第２２条の３（座席ベルト等）に適合しない。
改善措置
全車両、メーターＥＣＵの制御プログラムを対策仕様に書き替え、もしくはコンビネーションメーターを対策品と交換する。また、対策によりシートベルト警告の表示時間と警告灯の点灯条件が変わることを使用者に対し説明し、車内保管用の説明シートを配布する。
