This filing is one of 24 Mitsubishi notifications from 2001 in this archive. For scale, 2,362 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 11 months.
Defect
In the fuel system, insufficient clearance exists between the fuel pump wiring routed across the top of the fuel tank and the reinforcement plate at the rear seat belt anchor. Continued use allows the wiring to contact and chafe against the reinforcement plate, causing damage and a short circuit. In the worst case, the fuel pump may stop, causing the engine to stall.
Corrective action
All vehicles: replace the affected wiring with new parts and reroute it from the top of the tank to the side of the tank.
