Filing in context
This notification is a joint filing by 3 manufacturers: Mitsubishi, Nissan & Nissan Diesel.
This filing is one of 47 Mitsubishi notifications from 2016 in this archive. For scale, 3,179 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 8 years and 6 months.
Issue
On large touring buses equipped with the optional rear-facing LED destination display, the mounting bracket for the display has insufficient strength. Vehicle vibration may cause cracks to develop in the bracket. Continued use allows the cracks to progress until the bracket fractures, at which point the destination display may fall off the vehicle.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the mounting bracket with the corrected part.
