Filing in context
The Drive shaft is the most frequently cited component category in this archive, appearing in 7 of its 4,890 filings. This filing is one of 30 Mitsubishi notifications from 2000 in this archive. For scale, 1,676 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 4 years and 7 months.
Issue
The dynamic damper fitted to reduce vibration in the rear axle differential uses a weight support rubber of insufficient strength. Continued use in this condition may cause the support rubber to break. In the worst case, the weight detaches from the vehicle.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the dynamic damper with the corrected/revised part.
