Overview
| MLIT filing number | 2101620 |
|---|---|
| Type | Improvement Campaign (manufacturer improvement measure / 改善対策) |
| Date filed | July 26, 2000 |
| Manufacturer(s) | Mitsubishi |
| Component | Turbocharger |
| Production period | March 31, 1999 — July 18, 2000 |
| Vehicles affected | 1,309 units |
Issue
The variable-nozzle turbocharger compressor wheel has an incorrect blade profile. When the turbocharger is operated continuously near maximum speed, this defect causes partial blade damage, resulting in abnormal noise and white smoke. In the worst case, engine output decreases.
Corrective action
Because corrected/revised parts are not yet available, all vehicles will receive an interim measure: inspect the turbocharger compressor blades and replace any damaged blades with known-good parts. Once corrected/revised parts become available, the blades will be replaced with the corrected/revised parts.

状況
原動機の吸気を圧縮する可変ノズル付ターボ過給機において、ターボ過給機の吸気圧縮側 の翼の形状が不適切なため、ターボ過給機を最高回転付近で使用を続けると当該翼の一部 が破損して異音、白煙が発生し、最悪の場合、エンジンの出力が低下するおそれがある。
改善措置
対策品の供給に時間を要するため、全車両、当面の暫定対策として、ターボ過給機の吸気 圧縮側の翼を点検し、破損のあるものについては良品と交換する。また、後日車両、当該 翼を対策品と交換する。
