Filing in context
This is the only filing in the archive that cites the Exhaust as the affected component. This filing is one of 86 Mitsubishi notifications from 2007 in this archive. For scale, 4,495 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 months.
Issue
The exhaust pipe is improperly oriented, causing exhaust gases to overheat the underrun protection device during stationary diesel particulate filter (DPF) regeneration cycles. If a pedestrian or bystander inadvertently contacts the underrun protection device, burns may result.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, reorient the exhaust pipe and add a heat shield to the underrun protection device.
