Filing in context
This notification is a joint filing by 2 manufacturers: Mitsubishi & Nissan.
The A/T is the most frequently cited component category in this archive, appearing in 32 of its 4,890 filings. This filing is one of 56 Mitsubishi notifications from 2014 in this archive. For scale, 225 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 5 years and 10 months.
Issue
In the hydraulic control unit (valve body) of the 4-speed automatic transmission, the stopper plug is made of an inappropriate material. During gear shifts under high hydraulic fluid temperatures—such as those encountered during high-speed or uphill driving—the stopper plug may fracture. This prevents the transmission from maintaining proper hydraulic pressure, causing shift shock and shift malfunctions, and may result in loss of reverse gear.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, inspect the valve body. If the stopper plug is a pre-corrected part and has not fractured, add the corrected bracket. If the stopper plug has fractured, replace the valve body with the corrected part.
