Filing in context
This notification is a joint filing by 2 manufacturers: Mitsubishi & Suzuki.
The Steering wheel is the most frequently cited component category in this archive, appearing in 4 of its 4,890 filings. This filing is one of 27 Mitsubishi notifications from 2025 in this archive.

Defect
The drawing specifications for the joint between the steering wheel and the steering column are insufficient, resulting in inadequate clamping force at that connection. Under steering inputs during driving, the mounting nut loosens, causing abnormal noise and play at the mating surfaces. Continued use may cause the mating surfaces to separate entirely, resulting in loss of steering control.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, inspect and clean the steering wheel mounting, reinstall the steering wheel correctly, and torque the nut to the specified value.

状況
ステアリングホイールにおいて、ステアリングホイールとステアリングコラムの締結部に対する図面指示が不十分なため、当該部の締結力が不足しているものがある。そのため、走行中の操舵等の入力により、取付けナットが緩み嵌合部に異音やガタが発生し、そのまま使用を続けると最悪の場合、嵌合が外れ、ハンドル操作ができなくなるおそれがある。
改善措置
全車両、ステアリングホイールの取り付け状態を点検・清掃し、ステアリングホイールを正しく取り付け、ナットを規定のトルクで締め付ける。
