Filing in context
The Frame is the most frequently cited component category in this archive, appearing in 39 of its 4,890 filings. This filing is one of 70 Mitsubishi notifications from 2006 in this archive. For scale, 3,738 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 12 years and 4 months.
Issue
These vehicles are freight trucks converted to dump trucks with a sliding bed mechanism. Operating the vehicle under severe conditions — such as repeatedly raising and lowering an overloaded dump bed — can cause cracks to develop in the frame. Continued operation allows the cracks to propagate and, in the worst case, fracture the frame.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, reinforcement plates are added to the frame. Any frame showing cracks or deformation is repaired.
