This filing is one of 27 Mitsubishi notifications from 2025 in this archive. For scale, 2,609 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 1 year and 2 months.
Defect
On electric trucks, the waterproofing applied with protective tape at the harness branch point connected to the high-current fuse box is improperly applied. If the protective tape is damaged, water can enter the harness and cause condensation inside the high-current fuse box. When that condensation drips onto relays or other components within the box and wets the terminals, the EV system may cease to function, leaving the vehicle inoperable.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, add waterproof tape and a waterproof sheet to the harness branch point leading to the high-current fuse box. Inspect the relays, fuses, and harness terminals inside the box; repair or replace with new parts any that show corrosion or other damage. If water is found inside the box, remove it.

状況
電動トラックのハイカレントヒューズボックスに接続しているハーネスにおいて、分岐部に施している保護テープによる防水処置が不適切なため、保護テープが損傷するとハーネス内部に水が浸入してハイカレントヒューズボックス内で結露水が発生することがある。 そのため、結露水がハイカレントヒューズボックス内のリレー等に滴下して端子部が被水すると、ＥＶシステムが機能しなくなって走行不能に至る等の不具合が生じるおそれがある。
改善措置
全車両、ハイカレントヒューズボックス行きハーネス分岐部に防水テープと防水シートを追加する。また、当該ボックス内部のリレー、ヒューズ、ハーネスの端子を点検し、腐食等が認められたものは修復または新品に交換すると共に、当該ボックス内部に水が浸入していた場合は水を除去する。
