Overview
| MLIT filing number | 2103010 |
|---|---|
| Type | Improvement Campaign (manufacturer improvement measure / 改善対策) |
| Date filed | November 1, 2005 |
| Manufacturer(s) | Mitsubishi |
| Component | Fuel pump |
| Production period | June 28, 1993 — April 26, 1994 |
| Vehicles affected | 41,385 units |
Issue
On the mechanical fuel injection pump of the diesel engine, inadequate assembly instructions at the parts manufacturer resulted in an incorrect spring being installed in the fuel supply valve. This causes the fuel supply start timing to differ from the specified value. As a result, black smoke emissions may increase in certain driving conditions. Additionally, because service instructions provided to dealers for these vehicles were inadequate, some vehicles received improper dealer servicing, leaving the exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system in a non-standard condition.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, inspect the fuel injection pump. If an incorrect spring is found in the fuel supply valve, retrofit the fuel injection pump to the correct specification. In addition, inspect the EGR system on all vehicles and restore any unit found in a non-standard condition to the correct configuration with appropriate servicing.

状況
原動機（ディーゼル）の機械式燃料噴射ポンプにおいて、部品メーカーでの組付け作業時の指示が不適切なため、燃料供給バルブのスプリングに異品が装着されており、燃料の供給開始タイミングが異なる場合がある。そのため一部の走行領域において黒煙排出量が増大するおそれがある。なお、販売会社への当該車両に対する整備指示が不適切なため、販売会社において不適切な整備がされ、排気ガス再循環装置が正規な状態と異なる車両がある。
改善措置
全車両、燃料噴射ポンプを点検し、燃料供給バルブのスプリングに異品が装着されている車両は燃料噴射ポンプを正規状態に改修する。また全車両、排気ガス再循環装置を点検し、正規状態と異なるものは復元し、適切な整備を実施する。
