Filing in context
The Exhaust emission reduction device is the most frequently cited component category in this archive, appearing in 11 of its 4,890 filings. This filing is one of 8 Mitsubishi notifications from 2026 in this archive. For scale, 4,255 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 month.
Defect
On the exhaust gas recirculation system (EGR valve, EGR pipe), pipe stays, harness stays, and cooler stays, inadequate torque management during assembly resulted in mounting bolts not being tightened to the specified torque. Continued use allows the bolts to loosen, which may cause exhaust gas leaks. Additionally, foreign matter ingestion or a detached component becoming entangled in the generator may damage the engine, rendering the vehicle inoperable.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, retighten the mounting bolts for the engine EGR valve, EGR pipe, pipe stays, harness stays, and cooler stays to the specified torque. Inspect all affected components for detachment or contact damage with surrounding devices, and replace any detached or damaged parts with new components.

状況
排出ガス再循環装置（ＥＧＲバルブ、ＥＧＲパイプ）、パイプステー、ハーネスステー及びクーラーステーにおいて、取付ボルトの締付トルク管理が不十分なため、取付ボルトが規定のトルクで締め付けられていないものがある。そのため、そのまま使用し続けると、ボルトが緩み、排気ガスが漏れるおそれがある。または、異物吸入や、脱落した部品が発電装置に巻き込まれてエンジンが破損し、走行不能となるおそれがある。
改善措置
全車両、エンジンのＥＧＲバルブ、ＥＧＲパイプ、パイプステー、ハーネスステー及びクーラーステーの取付ボルトを規定のトルクで締め付ける。なお、部品の脱落状況や、脱落した部品が周辺の装置に接触して損傷しているか点検し、脱落・損傷している場合は新品に交換する。
