Filing in context
This notification is a joint filing by 3 manufacturers: Mitsubishi, Nissan & Nissan Diesel.
This filing is one of 31 Mitsubishi notifications from 2010 in this archive. For scale, 2,533 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 5 months.
Issue
On large buses, the stay damper mounting bracket for the swing-type trunk lid has insufficient strength. Repeated opening and closing of the trunk lid induces cracks in the bracket. Continued use in this condition may cause the bracket to fracture, preventing the trunk lid from being held open.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the body-side stay damper mounting bracket with the corrected part. On cold-climate specification vehicles, additionally replace the stay damper and hinge arm with corrected parts.
