Filing in context
This notification is a joint filing by 2 manufacturers: Mitsubishi & Nissan.
The Automatic transmission is the most frequently cited component category in this archive, appearing in 6 of its 4,890 filings. This filing is one of 56 Mitsubishi notifications from 2015 in this archive. For scale, 458 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 3 years and 3 months.
Issue
In the automatic transmission parking mechanism — which mechanically locks the output shaft — the parking control lever is produced under insufficient weld process controls. If the driver shifts into Park before the vehicle has fully stopped, excessive stress is applied to the lever and the weld joint may fracture. When this occurs, the parking mechanism no longer engages. If the vehicle is then parked on a slope without applying the parking brake, it may roll away.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the parking control lever with a conforming part.

状況
自動変速機のパーキング機構（自動変速機のアウトプットシャフトを機械的に固定する機構）を作動させるパーキングコントロールレバーにおいて、溶接工程管理が不十分なため、車両が停止する前にＰレンジへシフト操作をすると、当該レバーに過大な応力がかかり溶接部が破損することがある。そのため、パーキング機構が作動しなくなり、駐車ブレーキをかけずに坂路等に駐車した場合、車両が動き出すおそれがある。
改善措置
全車両、パーキングコントロールレバーを良品に交換する。
