Mitsubishi Canter Series, Rosa Improvement Campaign 2102000 — ABS

In January 2002, Mitsubishi filed an improvement campaign with Japan's Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism (MLIT) concerning the ABS, covering the Canter Series, Rosa. The filing affects 22,417 vehicles manufactured between March 24, 1999 and September 2001.

Overview

Filing in context

The ABS is the most frequently cited component category in this archive, appearing in 30 of its 4,890 filings. This filing is one of 34 Mitsubishi notifications from 2002 in this archive. For scale, 1,177 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 6 months.

Issue

In the brake system, the control software for the ABS (Anti-Lock Brake System) is incorrect. If the driver applies the brakes while turning the steering sharply immediately after an ABS cycle ends, the ABS may malfunction and activate improperly. As a result, stopping distance may be longer than the driver anticipates.

Corrective action

On all vehicles, replace the ECU with the corrected part.
