Filing in context
This is the only filing in the archive that cites the Drivetrain (Other) as the affected component. This filing is one of 24 Mitsubishi notifications from 2001 in this archive. For scale, 943 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 2 years and 4 months.
Issue
In the drivetrain, the retaining pin for the parking roller rod in the automatic transmission parking mechanism has insufficient strength, which may cause the pin to crack. In the worst case, the pin fractures, the retainer disengages, and the parking mechanism fails to engage even when the selector is moved to the Park position.
Corrective action
Replace the parking roller rod on all vehicles with the corrected part.
